The Bay State Banner’s 50th Anniversary Event

Title Sponsor

In recognition of its 50th Anniversary, the Bay State Banner is excited to celebrate this auspicious occasion at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute on Tuesday, November 10, 2015, beginning at 6 p.m. The EMK Institute’s purpose is best expressed in Senator Kennedy’s own words: “To preserve our vibrant democracy for future generations, I believe it is critical to have a place where citizens can go to learn first-hand about the Senate’s important role in our system of government.”

Over the past 50 years, the Bay State Banner has been engaging citizens in conversations around politics and community issues by reporting stories of critical importance to Boston’s urban community and beyond. As the Banner and Senator Kennedy’s legacy embody a commitment to educating and informing the public on significant issues of the day, we strongly believe that the EMK Institute is the perfect place to hold this anniversary celebration.

The event will include an opportunity to tour the Kennedy Institute; a documentary film about the Banner’s history, produced by award-winning filmmakers Tracy Heather Strain and Randy MacLowry, founders of The Film Posse; and the launch of the Banner’s 50th Commemorative magazine. We have commissioned well-known artist Ekua Holmes to provide the art for this special cover.

We look forward to celebrating this milestone with you on November 10th.
