On Thursday, June 28th, Northeastern University essentially sent an eviction letter to AAMARP (African American Master Artists in Residency Program). This program has been based at the University for 40 years. It was established by artist Dana Chandler.

Gloretta Baynes, the point person for AAMARP, is a key member of the MALC steering committee and has been in contact with MALC on this since matter since the letter arrived last week. MALC has been working to support their efforts behind the scenes. Please note that the accusations made by Northeastern are in dispute.

MALC is awaiting AAMARP’s lead on their social media response, but highly encourages supporters of AAMARP to spread the press articles on this “eviction” far and wide. (See links below.) (more…)
