Join the Jamaica Plain Forum and friends in hosting an intergenerational

work?    *
Come hear panelists' stories on how they have navigated various parts of
their identities--as fathers, as children, as activists, as black, as
women--in their work for social justice and equity.

Universalist Association, will facilitate the panel.
