Maryland Humanities developed the One Maryland One Book (OMOB) initiative “to bring together diverse people in communities across the state through the shared experience of reading the same book.” This year's One Maryland One Book is What Storm, What Thunder by Myriam J.A. Chancy, and UMBC will participate in a statewide conversation about the title, which explores the impact of a 7.0 earthquake on the intersecting lives of a community in Haiti. This panel discussion — Community Restoration and Building the Future — is hosted UMBC's Department of Emergency and Disaster Health Systems, Center for Global Engagement, and Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery.
