Hingham Unity Council Event

ALL are welcome to meet us near the bandstand at Hingham Harbor from 4-6pm on June 18th. Among the treats in store are live music from Big Redd's House, a dance performance by YAK (Youth Acquiring Knowledge), and a singing of the Black National Anthem by acclaimed gospel singer Rakeem Andre! Food will be available for purchase from Morrell's BBQ. This event is free and requires no advance registration. We encourage you to park in the Station Street lot if possible. Check out a special sneak preview of YAK below:  

Hingham Unity is partnering with the Hingham Arts Alliance to bring a lineup of performers and activities to this fantastic downtown event!

Stroll the iconic Arts Walk & then join us for a beverage at the bar at Stars. Meet other community members ages 21-39 (“Young HUCs” or “YHs”) seeking to foster a more diverse, inclusive & equitable Hingham for all!

Join us for a virtual fireside chat with award-winning local author Jerald Walker, discussing his National Book Award-nominated book How to Make a Slave.

We are all set for the current dates. If we add more we will send another email and social blast. Thank you so much for your generosity!

How are these concepts connected and what does it mean for me as a member of the Hingham Community? Presented in partnership with Hingham Net Zero. Zoom info: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82171130777?pwd=Ujl2UUhXMkFEbU9mOFFJS09wMVdOdz09 Meeting ID: 821 7113 0777 Passcode: 394444

Spend a fun afternoon honing your understanding for easier, more effective conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging. Ever wonder what the deal is with pronouns these days? Or what exactly are microaggressions? What is the difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation anyway? Or maybe you think you know but aren’t quite sure? You’re not alone! Many people hesitate to talk about issues related to identity and diversity for fear of saying the wrong thing and hurting someone’s feelings - or embarrassing themselves. We invite you to come explore these concepts in a fun, judgment-free, “word-game” atmosphere. A few promises: You WILL NOT be required to speak if you don’t want to. You may sit and listen. But, hopefully you will have an opportunity to smile and laugh. You WILL NOT be judged or otherwise made to feel embarrassed that you do or do not have a master’s degree in DEIB lingo. You WILL have fun, meet new community members, and, hopefully, learn something new and useful so you can feel more confident engaging in anti-bias dialogue in the future! There WILL be free light refreshments. Please register in advance using the form below as space is limited!

Your vote counts! It's important to learn about the folks who will make decisions that can affect our town for years to come. Please join us on Facebook or our website as we pose questions related to equity to our Planning Board candidates and hear statements from our other candidates in uncontested races for Hingham public office.

This fun, community-building event is open to all Hingham students and their families - what a great way to get to know our METCO families AND our town just a little better! We will gather in the St. John's parking lot for a 1pm start to the hunt, prepared by Hingham Historical Society interns. The event will conclude with free lunch by Morrell's BBQ back at the church at 2:30pm. Please bring a reusable water bottle to take advantage of the hydration stations. Hope to see you there! This event is free but registration is not closed.

Join us live in the Whiton Room at the Hingham Public Library to discuss this intriguing and topical book. Register
