This week has been very exciting as the class collaboration between mine and the arts students are about to send our design to the printer for the Garden Gala save the date. Last Friday I was able to attend the meeting with Marc Steiner on the weeklong radio broadcast featuring a collaboration of UMBC classes. This program will hopefully raise awareness of the boom and bust of industry has affected two different communities in similar ways.  This can be observed in their shared histories, struggles, family and friendships. Somehow during the meeting with Marc Steiner I in a way found my voice as I truly was sharing thoughts and ideas of how I saw this radio broadcast happening. I feel as though I have a lot to offer because of being in the two classes and being able to listen to the voices of the members of both communities to find many similarities. If any one is interested please come to the event Remembering Sparrows Point this Thursday at 7:30. The event is free to all and is being held at the Creative Alliance at Patterson 3134 Eastern Ave., Baltimore, MD 21224. To keep its memory alive, Creative Alliance will screen Mill Stories and Life After Steel, present a reading by Deborah Rudacille, author of Roots of Steel: Boom and Bust in an American Mill Town, and engage the audience in a discussion with former Sparrows Point workers.
