3rd Annual Baltimore Immigration Summit 

Friday, November 17th, 2006
at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum 
of Maryland African American History & Culture 
The Baltimore Immigration Summit is an annual one-day event, co-sponsored by
Towson University and the Baltimore City Mayor's Office, which brings
together academics, service providers, activists, community leaders, and
others working with and for immigrants in our region. Baltimore is an area
with a growing and diverse immigrant population, as well as local government
that views immigrants as an important part of the city's resurgence. 

The theme of this year's Summit is "Building Bridges." The topic of
immigration is often approached from a divisive, "us vs. them" perspective.
Yet immigrants' lives personify the concept of building bridges, as they
traverse national boundaries, and continue to make connections between their
native and adopted cultures. Bridges are needed among immigrant groups, as
well as between immigrants and the native-born. In the city of Baltimore and
elsewhere, there is particular concern about building bridges between
immigrants and African Americans, as too often the two groups are pitted
against each other. In addition, the Summit's mission is to build bridges
between and among those in the academic, non-profit, governmental, and
activist communities.
