Basic Black

When was the last time you thought about your name? Often, our name is the first thing people learn about us. It provides clues about our heritage, our year or era of birth, and aspects of our lives. Names also offer a window into history, identity, and meaning. Our panel will discuss how our names intersect within history, culture, politics, and employment, and will also acknowledge Native American Heritage Month, Thanksgiving, and the new mayor of Boston.
