On Monday, May 23, 2016, over 500 students and teachers gathered at the Augusta Civic Center for the Civil Rights Team Project State Conference. Hosted by the Office of the Maine Attorney General, the conference was the first event of its kind since 2010. In addition to schools attending from across the state, the event was also attended by guests Pigeon, a Portland based street artist whose “Mainer” project is currently showing at the Maine Historical Society, and Vishavjit Singh, a writer, cartoonist, and performance artist who travels across the U.S. sharing his passion for art, tolerance, diversity, and social justice.
