Middle East Baltimore Stories, with photographs and interviews by

ongoing redevelopment project in the Middle East neighborhood. Join us 
as we celebrate the release of the book, and the resilience of those 
whose stories it tells.

2–4PM: Meet Your Neighbors; Hear the Stories. The audio portion of 
Middle East Baltimore Stories will be available for listening.

4–6PM: Mindy Thompson Fullilove, MD, professor of clinical psychiatry 
and public health at Columbia University and author of Root Shock, will 
speak along with representatives of SMEAC, Art on Purpose, and the 
Middle East Baltimore Community.

Free and open to the public, the event takes place in conjunction with 
the Reginald F. Lewis Museum exhibition, East Side Stories, which 
features audio and photographs from Middle East Baltimore Stories. The 
museum is located at 830 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, MD 21202. For

E. Casey Foundation. The book release event is made possible in part by
