The Greater Philadelphia Roundtable: Philadelphia’s strong tradition of neighborhood distinctiveness has lasting power and deep roots. In this culmination of the series, we look at the foundations of community experience. How do neighborhood ties unite and sometimes divide us? Across neighborhood boundaries, how do we form the common bonds of civic life? This panel will be moderated by Carolyn Adams of Temple University with panelists including Linn Washington of Temple University, Domenic Vitiello of the University of Pennsylvania, and Thoai Nguyen of SEAMAAC, and Louis Massiah of Scribe Video. Program co-sponsors include the Philadelphia History Museum and SEAMAAC.
