In 2009, PMC won third place in the Peter F. Drucker Awards for Nonprofit Innovation. Following is detailed information about PMC’s work.

    FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 2019 When Salem artist Anna Dugan saw what a vandal did to a mural of her family that she had drawn in downtown Lynn, it made her sick to her stomach. Literally. “My stomach turned,” Dugan said. “I thought I was going to throw up.” What she saw would have, or should have, turned anyone’s stomach. There, on a portrait of her mother, someone had drawn a Hitler mustache, and what looked to be the insignia of the Schutz- staffel (SS), the Nazis who killed six million Jews during the Holocaust. Her revulsion was so strong she had to immediately x it because “I didn’t want a portrait of my mom to stay that way.” Dugan is not Jewish. But she understood exactly what this was. “It wasn’t any innocent kind of vandalism,” she said. “It was very racist.” And hateful. And it’s not the only expression of hatred that we’re seeing all too often. Today we examine a few. IS THERE NO END TO THE HATRED?
