All while learning about local American icons.  There will be a poetry reading at 2PM by two local poets Carmellite Chamblin and Donald Vincent (Mr. Hip).

Carmellite Chamblin is a first generation born Haitian-American minoring in women’s study at MCPHS University. She resides in Malden MA with a large collection of books she’s yet to touch, and a growing concern for the gradual gentrification of her city. Her most recent poems touch on unmasking the emotions behind loss and change. She enjoys writing, drawing, and hopes to one day own a tarantula and a bunny.
