Description:

Our last event for this semester - the University of Maryland MLAW Program's Law, Art, and Activism Series is

"WHERE WE STAND": Music, Words, and Resilience in Today's World

As the dual challenges of COVID19 and an increasingly divided and hostile America pushed us all to the limits of our perseverance, poets naturally used words to record this moment. All of us endured and pushed on. Our last event shall celebrate the human spirit in meeting this moment.
