With over 15+ years of special event planning and community engagement, Boston native, Catherine T. Morris, has decided to combine both of her passions to start Boston Art & Music Soul (BAMS) Fest. This is a nonprofit organization that strives to breakdown racial and social barriers to arts, music and culture for marginalized communities of color across Greater Boston. Since 2015, the organization has produced and curated a traveling live arts and music series called “The Prelude.” This program entertains and helps audiences of color experience the arts in underutilized spaces across local neighborhoods. As a result, the organization has presented over 100+ local and independent musicians and artists, curated in (10) local venues and has attracted over 2,700+ attendees. It is Catherine’s hope that BAMS Fest becomes a pipeline to Boston’s arts and culture ecosystems in a way that revitalizes the streets of where we live, and can positively impact the livelihoods of our youth, families, and future generations.

Cathy Stanton received her PhD from the interdisciplinary doctorate program at Tufts University in Boston, where she combined cultural anthropology with the study of museums, heritage, and tourism to examine the role of historic preservation and interpretation in creating postindustrial places. Her book, *The Lowell Experiment: Public History in a Postindustrial City*, recently won the 2007 Book Award from the National Council on Public History for the best book arising from the field of public history in the past year. The book chronicles the development of Lowell National Historical Park, a pioneering urban national park created in 1978, and asks critical questions about this way of using history. Stanton points out that while Lowell has rehabilitated its image and become a model for this kind of revitalization projects worldwide, there are also downsides in the form of gentrification, growing competition from other cities following the same path, and a disconnection from present-day public debates about work and opportunity in the postindustrial economy. A resident of Massachusetts, Stanton is currently an adjunct lecturer at Tufts University and at Vermont College of Union Institute and University. She has also served as a consultant to the US National Park Service on matters relating to historical reenactment and community relationships. She is currently completing a study of Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site in southeastern Pennsylvania, focusing on many of the same issues raised by her research in Lowell.
