Welcome to the conversation!
Welcome to the conversation!
The Stowe Center is a 21st-century museum and program center using Stowe's story to inspire social justice and positive change.
The Salons at Stowe programs are a forum to connect the challenging issues (race, gender and class) that impelled Stowe to write and act with the contemporary face of those same issues. The Salon format is based on a robust level of audience participation, with the explicit goal of promoting civic engagement. Recent topics included: Teaching Acceptance; Is Prison the New Slavery; Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North; Creativity and Change; Race, Gender and Politics Today; How to be an Advocate
This blog will expand the reach of these community conversations to the online audience. Add your posts and comments to keep the conversation going! Commit to action by clicking HERE to stay up to date on Salon and social justice news.

#Malala's birthday wish: #BringBackOurGirls
ABC News' Amy Robach interviewed activist Malala Yousafzai on her 17th birthday (July 12). What was her big birthday wish? For Boko Haram to release the Nigerian girls they have been holding captive since April (see our blog post on #BringBackOurGirls). The Twitter account for the Malala Fund - the organization led by Malala focused on helping girls go to school and raise their voices for the right to education - is also advocating for the release of the girls in Nigeria.
What will you do to help #BringBackOurGirls? How will you take action to make Malala's birthday wish - and the wish of many others across the world - come true?
