Du Bois 150th Birthday
|
In 2018, Multicultural BRIDGE was commissioned by the town of Great Barrington to curate and co-sponsor--alongside Du Bois Center of Great Barrington--the Town's 150th Birthday celebration of W.E.B. Du Bois, a native of Berkshire county born on February 23, 1868.
The major thinker, writer, scholar, and civil rights activist was born and raised in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, a town he wrote about lovingly and eloquently in his memoirs. To honor his memory and celebrate his ongoing legacy, Multicultural BRIDGE worked with community members, organizational partners, local leaders and more to plan and host events throughout the year.
