Join us to discuss the Maryland Humanities 2025 One Maryland One Book (OMOB): "Kin: Rooted in Hope" by Carole Boston Weatherford and Jeffery Boston Weatherford. Hybrid in form, and even more expansive in what it has to say, Kin: Rooted in Hope is a book created by, and about, a Black family and its generations.

Maryland Humanities is pleased to announce that the selection for the 2025 One Maryland One Book (OMOB) is Kin: Rooted in Hope by Carole Boston Weatherford with art by Jeffery Boston Weatherford. Through Carole’s poetry and Jeffery’s art the book is a work of art, history, and personal genealogy journey about the Weatherford’s ancestors who were among the founders of the Maryland, giving them voice through enslavement, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.
Under the 2025 theme of What We Collect/What We Tell, the OMOB selection committee generated a list of books that explore how we tell stories of ourselves and our communities in different forms: personal memoir, historical research, recent experiences, long-ago past, and in different media. The committee found Kin: Rooted in Hope, as the best possible representation of this endeavor.
One Maryland One Book is a program of Maryland Humanities and the Maryland Center for the Book, sponsored by The Institute of Museum and Library Services via the Maryland State Library Agency.
