Established in 2018, Historic Sotterley's Common Ground initiative, is more than a program, it is a mindset and spirit where we all learn, grow and heal together to achieve an equitable world, building hope and heritage for all, now and for the future.

Sotterley's Common Ground programming takes many forms, including monthly speaker events, partnerships with other organizations, and special events.

Events are all supported by members of Sotterley’s Descendant community who provide leadership and vision for Common Ground.    Many of the events are in partnership with the Big Conversation.
