New pieces of the story of Malaga Island are coming to light in an ongoing museum exhibit in Augusta and at a forum in Bar Harbor on April 23.
We encourage people to check these exhibits out. Let’s educate ourselves about what led to the forced evictions of mixedrace communities from the island off Phippsburg in 1912.
For info on the April 23 talk, email [email protected] or call 288-5015.
Only by knowing history can we avoid repeating it.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
