Grace Darin Memorial Lecture
Honoring a legacy of journalism & community.
The Grace Darin Memorial Lecture is an annual event that celebrates the life and work of Grace Darin, one of Baltimore’s most esteemed journalists and a beloved Charles Village activist. Held each spring, this lecture series brings together prominent voices in journalism and storytelling, continuing Grace Darin’s commitment to truth, community, and access to information for all.
Past speakers have included notable figures such as Laura Lippman, Dan Rodricks, Marc Steiner, Gilbert Sandler, and Jacques Kelly. Each year, we gather to reflect on Grace Darin’s contributions and her lasting impact on journalism and civic engagement.
Gratitude for Continued Impact
The Grace Darin Memorial Fund, which supports The Village Learning Place’s collection of periodicals and newspapers, honors her dedication to ensuring that everyone has access to quality journalism and information. Join us in celebrating her legacy and the continued importance of journalism in our community.
