Thank You For Participating!
One Book Baltimore 2022 has successfully come to an end. The program began with a kickoff event in November and culminated with a student showcase in February. Both events featured a visit from Furia author, Yamile Saied Méndez. Throughout the program, the Pratt hosted discussions and events across the city to spark conversations focused on peace and how to promote change in our community, as well as themes of identity, culture, and growth.
