Global Engagement throughout history with Maine's Holocaust & Human Rights Center (HHRC) and Monson Historical Society
History of immigration
Maine has a long history of immigration. From people seeking work, to people seeking religious freedom, it is important to remember Maine's history of immigration when thinking about modern situations.
What does it mean to be a Mainer?
The Holocaust and Human Rights Center taught Global Maine about xenophobia and its history. We discusses what it means to be American and what it means to be a Mainer (and if those terms can even be defined!)

Monson is a beautiful small town in Maine with a robust economy, thanks to an investment in art programs, and a long history of immigration. It is a historically significant location for quarries the harvesting of slate. Monson has a long global history of exporting slate and drawing in many workers.
