Still StandingThis fall, MECA’s Storytelling 101 public engagement class collaborated with The Abyssinian Meeting House to celebrate its story. For this project, students interviewed African American elders in Maine, to create an archive of stories to be housed at The Abyssinian Meeting House. By documenting these stories, the partnership aimed to celebrate the contribution and experience of African American elders by creating an archive of stories for future generations. The culminating event, "Still Standing," held in the ICA in February, was a night of live story-telling to celebrate the importance of African American experiences in Portland and communicate the significance of this history in the state of Maine.
