Victory in Poppleton!

Baltimore Heritage is thrilled to share the news that the Eaddy family and all of the advocates in Poppleton have won. The city just announced that it will not evict the Eaddy family (they will get to continue to own their homes), and that the City is selling the Sarah Ann Street alley houses to non-profit developer Black Women Build for $1 each. Black Women Build has already started thinking through their rehab and eventual sale, with the former tenants getting first priority. This has been 20 years in the making and is a huge victory. A big thank you and congratulations to the Eaddy family and Organize Poppleton for their sustained campaign to save these historic homes. We’ll share more later, but here is a wonderful Baltimore Brew article.

Announcing the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project’s Inaugural Newsletter

Baltimore Heritage is delighted to have a guest blog post by Dr. Elgin Klugh, chair of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project, announcing the group’s inaugural newsletter! The Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project is dedicated to telling the untold history and fate of Baltimore’s first nonsectarian African American cemetery and the thousands of individuals buried there. Read more about it below! 

 

 

The Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project is excited to share with you the inaugural issue of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project, Inc. newsletter. This is the first issue of future quarterly newsletters where we will report research findings, recent activities, and provide biographical profiles and feature articles of interest about Baltimore’s historic Laurel Cemetery.

It is our hope that you will appreciate, feel enriched by, and support our work as we strive to honor the thousands of individuals buried at Laurel Cemetery. Please join us as we uncover the forgotten past of this historic sacred ground.

Additional information can be found on the project’s website.

Please contact rememberlaurelcemetery@yahoo.com with suggestions for articles, events, or news to include in future editions.

–Dr. Elgin Klugh

2021 Thank You!

All of us at Baltimore Heritage want to say a sincere thank you to everybody who renewed their membership, joined for the first time, and donated an extra gift to help us meet our 2021 challenge match. Your gifts in 2021 helped us to meet our challenge match and will allow us to have an even bigger impact in Baltimore. Thank you for your confidence! 

What are we planning for 2022?  Here are a few highlights for how your gifts will help in the year ahead. 

Civil Rights Heritage in Baltimore Public Schools: In our continuing partnership with the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum, the Maryland Center for History and Culture, and the city schools’ humanities department, this winter we will help train teachers in a new Civil Rights curriculum for Baltimore City school kids to launch in the coming year.

In-Person Tours: This past year we began hosting outdoor in-person walking tours at Green Mount Cemetery. With any luck, this spring we will be able to return to much more robust tours and events including our annual spring historic neighborhoods Baltimore by Foot series and our Behind the Scenes series of wonderful historic buildings. Please stay tuned!

Virtual Programs: One thing we have learned again this year is that virtual programs like our Five Minute Histories Series and our Friday afternoon Virtual History Talks offer ways to connect that in-person programs just can’t. So, don’t worry, these and our other virtual programs are here to stay, and we’re ramping up for a full year of them in 2022.

Fire at the Sellers Mansion

Yesterday the Sellers Mansion in Lafayette Square had a fire inside. Built in 1868 just after Lafayette Square turned from a Civil War Union Army hospital base into a residential community, the mansion is listed as a Baltimore City historic landmark. It has anchored the Lafayette Square neighborhood for nearly 150 years as a private residence and as offices for community nonprofit organizations. And it has been vacant for over 20 years. See our Five Minute Histories video on the Sellers Mansion for more of its history!

 

We checked things out at the mansion this morning, and it appears the damage was contained to the interior and the roof. That’s the good news. The challenge is that the building is in severely poor shape and needed attention before the fire, and even more so now. As the Baltimore Sun reported this morning, it is owned by developer Ernst Valery and although the city approved redevelopment plans about two years ago, work has yet to begin.

 

We at Baltimore Heritage have been working to try to save the Sellers Mansion for nearly 25 years and remain committed to do everything we can to see this grand Second Empire building return to being an asset for the Lafayette Square neighborhood in West Baltimore. Scroll down to see photos taken this morning by Baltimore Heritage’s Executive Director Johns Hopkins.
