Black History Month 2023

Black History is the story of black culture in America. Black History is American History.

This month (& every month) MAEOE celebrates the rich contributions made to our Maryland Environmental Community.

We reflect on the past to build the future. We celebrate Black pioneers, formal and non-formal educators, and advocates everywhere and especially in the state of Maryland.

We recognize that children are often influenced and shaped by environmental experiences. The 2023 MAEOE Conference Opening Speaker, Dr. Rose Brusaferro, uses her professional and academic platform to advocate for connecting children to nature as a means to a sustainable future. Read more about Dr. Brusaferro here.

We acknowledge our African American Community Partners and Vendors that collaborate with us to bring rich programming and services to you. We salute Ma Parker & Associates, Brewer Books, Little Black Book, LGK Marketing Communications Collective, Inc, and Lacy Consulting Services, LLC.
