Karson News & Announcements

Our Commitment

We at the Karson have a commitment to exploring and honoring the unique narratives of the our community both nationally and locally. Part of that commitment is being transparent about our own narrative and our current engagements in the often-interlinked worlds of race, peace and social justice.

To learn about what we are doing, and what we have done, check out our running blog. To see where we've been mentioned by outside sources, such as Afro News or VisitBaltimore, check out our Karson In The News Section.
