SUMMARY:Malaga Island with Kate McBrien
DESCRIPTION:Presentation and discussion exploring the true history of the 
 community who lived on Malaga Island\, off the coast of Phippsburg\, 
 Maine\, in the late 1800s. The program examines the individuals who were 
 part of this community and the state’s actions to evict them from their 
 homes through the complex history of racism and eugenics in Maine. 
 \n\nPresented live in person and on Zoom.  Registration is required for 
 Zoom only.\n\n \n\nKate McBrien currently serves as Maine State Archivist\, 
 overseeing Maine State Government’s archives and records management 
 programs. As curator of the award-winning exhibition “Malaga Island\, 
 Fragmented Lives\,” McBrien is also an historian for the Malaga Island 
 community. She previously held positions as Chief Curator and Director of 
 Public Engagement at the Maine Historical Society and as the Curator of 
 Historic Collections for the Maine State Museum.\n\n \n\nThis program is 
 presented in partnership with the Bath YMCA and is part of the Bath Area 
 Family YMCA DEI Committee Programming Series 2024: Acknowledging our Past 
 to Create a More Inclusive Future.\n\nBath Area Family YMCA’s Diversity\, 
 Equity and Inclusion Committee\, in partnership with the Patten Free 
 Library\, is bringing a series of speakers\, programs and events to our 
 community as part of our dedication to creating communities that are 
 inclusive and socially just so that all people can thrive. With this 
 series\, we will facilitate opportunities to explore a small piece of our 
 region’s history with race relations\, primarily through the lens of 
 Malaga Island. By familiarizing ourselves with this history\, we hope to 
 explore how we can avoid the terrible mistakes of our past and create more 
 inclusive communities today and in the future. We welcome all in the 
 community to participate in these programs and to help to be a part of that 
 vision of a just\, equitable community.\n\nJoin Meeting:
