SUMMARY:Fall Lecture: Preservation for the People with Dr. Nicole King
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our annual Fall Lecture and Doors Open Baltimore’s kickoff lecture with Nicole King\, Ph.D!  \nAfter an 18-year fight to save her home from condemnation by Baltimore City\, Sonia Eaddy won. The historic Sarah Ann Street alley houses will be preserved and offered for homeownership after being rehabbed by Shelley Halstead of Black Women Build. However\, the story of redevelopment in Poppleton illustrates how Baltimore City failed to see and hear the people of this historically Black neighborhood along the Highway to Nowhere. Working with residents on research\, public programming\, and organizing to amplify the stories of legacy residents fighting for development without displacement\, we were able to achieve a reset on a misguided redevelopment project underway since 2004. The City’s stance is that we cannot change the past and must move forward in good faith. As a cultural historian and preservationist\, I argue we must honor and remember the past and how we got here in order to do the hard work to repair and make amends for the damage done to Black neighborhoods and people in Baltimore. We need real change on how development works in Baltimore and cities like it. \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nNicole King\, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Department of American Studies and director of the Orser Center for the Study of Place\, Community\, and Culture at UMBC. Her research focuses on issues of place\, power\, and economic development. She co-founded the Baltimore Traces: Communities in Transition public humanities project where students work with local partners to research historic neighborhoods and complete cultural documentation projects. She is an editor of the book Baltimore Revisited: Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a U.S. City (Rutgers University Press\, 2019).

SUMMARY:Baltimore Turning the Century: A Talk by Historian Jack Burkert
DESCRIPTION:The 19th century had been good to Baltimore. The port\, shipbuilding\, needle trades and food processing were bigger than ever. Business was booming! Immigrants continued to arrive in the city. But disaster came early as the Great Baltimore Fire had consumed the city center. Rebuilding the city became the task of the decade. Women’s suffrage\, slum housing\, sweatshops\, racial discrimination\, public health\, and child labor were to be addressed. Despite the challenges\, Baltimoreans enjoyed electrified amusement parks\, attendance at vaudeville theaters\, and neighborhood life. Join Baltimore Historian Jack Burkert to learn about this story of challenges\, new beginnings and better living at turn of the century Baltimore.

SUMMARY:The Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum: A Behind-the-Scenes Tour
DESCRIPTION:From 1935 until her retirement in 1970\, Lillie Carroll Jackson was president of the Baltimore chapter of the NAACP and for much of this time her home on Eutaw Place was a hub of Civil Rights organizing for Jackson and her daughter\, Juanita Jackson Mitchell. On July 27\, join Baltimore Heritage Executive Director Johns Hopkins for a short walk around Lillie Carroll Jackson’s neighborhood\, which was also the home of many other Civil Rights luminaries including Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Mitchell. Then we will go inside the museum to tour where Jackson\, called the  “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement\,” lived and worked for the cause.  \nThis tour will include a short\, 30-min walk outdoors\, followed by an hour-long indoor tour. The Museum and exhibits are accessible by wheelchair and others with limited mobility. There is elevator access to all floors.

SUMMARY:Heart of Local Government: City Hall
DESCRIPTION:Housing the offices of the Mayor and other officials\, Baltimore City Hall is the heart of local government. Designed in a French Second Empire style\, local leaders dedicated the new City Hall in October 1875. Architect George Frederick was only 21 when he won the design competition organized for project. The Baltimore City Hall may be Frederick’s claim to fame but he also designed Maryland’s Pavilion for Philadelphia Exposition\, Baltimore City College\, Hutzler’s Palace Building\, and many more landmarks across the city. In an appropriate move for a bustling industrial city\, the structure employed a good deal of cast iron\, including the 227-foot tall dome designed by Wendel Bollman and cast by Bartlett\, Robbins\, and Company.  \nOur tour will cover  architectural history\, as well as Baltimore and city government history. In addition to the rotunda\, we’ll venture into the building’s ceremonial room\, the original mayor’s office\, and the council chambers (as long as they are not in use). We’ll also witness close-up the prize-winning renovations that happened in the 1970s and saved City Hall from demolition. Peer behind the curtain and get an up close look at the architecture and renovations where our city’s leaders make some of their biggest decisions.

SUMMARY:“Life Goes On:” The Legacy of Henrietta Lacks and Turner Station
DESCRIPTION:Don’t know who Henrietta Lacks was? Most of the world didn’t until about ten years ago. Mrs. Lacks is best recognized for her immortal cells\, which scientists and doctors still use today to study the effects of toxins\, drugs\, hormones and viruses on people without experimenting on humans. Her cells helped create the HPV and polio vaccines. Yet it took some twenty-five years before the Lacks family received any knowledge of the important contribution of their beloved wife and mother. Please join us and the Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group for a walking tour of Turner Station in Dundalk\, the last home of Henrietta Lacks\, to hear about Henrietta\, her family\, and her life in Turner Station. \nIn 1951\, Mrs. Lacks went to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment of cervical cancer. Without informing Mrs. Lacks\, Hopkins doctors noticed that the removed cancer cells continued to grow in the lab. This marked the first instance of continuous growth of human cells outside the body. Henrietta died on October 4\, 1951 from her cancer. She was 31 years old. \nDoctors named her cells HeLa (from the first letters of her first and last names) and\, without Lacks family approval\, began sending them to laboratories around the world for research. Mrs. Lacks’ story weaves together important ethical and racial issues of the medical industrial complex\, segregation\, and the polarized economy of Baltimore. We are honored to be partnering with the Henrietta Lacks Legacy Group for this tour. Join guides Servant Speed and Adele Newson-Horst as we walk through Henrietta’s Turner Station community and learn about her incredible story. \nWant to learn more about Henrietta Lacks?  \nThe Double-Edged Helix” in Rolling Stone Magazine\n“The Miracle of HeLa” in Ebony Magazine\nThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

SUMMARY:Laurel Cemetery Voluntour: Trash Clean-up and History Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us to learn about one of Baltimore’s most important\, and forgotten cemeteries\, and help clean it up as you learn! Laurel Cemetery was incorporated in 1852 as Baltimore’s first nondenominational cemetery for African Americans. It quickly became a popular place of burial for people across Black Baltimore’s socioeconomic spectrum\, including 230 Black Civil War veterans and notables such as Civil Rights activist Reverend Harvey Johnson. In 1958 and after a series of lawsuits failed to prevail in the courts\, Laurel Cemetery was leveled. Today it is the site of the Belair-Edison Crossing Shopping Center\, and home to several businesses. However\, many current patrons and nearby residents are unaware of the site’s former purpose and significance. Join members of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to see the site firsthand…and have a hand in improving it. This free event will include an hour-long trash clean-up followed by a history tour of the site. All supplies will be provided. Please meet at the grassy area at 2401 Belair Road. \n\n \nThank you to Preservation Maryland and the Maryland Historical Trust for providing funds for this event.

SUMMARY:History from the Middle of the Street: A Walking Tour for the Charles Street Promenade
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore is kicking cars off of portions of Charles Street for a day\, and we’re taking advantage of it! On Saturday\, June 14\, only pedestrians and bicycles will be allowed on a good portion of Charles Street between Saratoga and North Avenue as part of the Charles Street Promenade. Join Baltimore Heritage’s Executive Director\, Johns Hopkins\, on a stroll down the middle of the street to get a perspective that we normally don’t get of many of the city’s most interesting historic buildings. We’ll talk about some of Maryland’s oldest churches\, take in architecture from Colonial Revival to Brutalist\, and share stories from the founding of American philanthropy to the role rye whisky played in shaping more than a few beloved institutions…all from the middle of the street! \nWhat is Charles St Promenade? Enjoy the day shopping\, strolling\, and dining\, as Charles Street closes down to vehicular traffic for a full day of exploration and Downtown fun!

We hope you’ll walk to the grounds of Green Mount Cemetery with us to discover this poignant history in a whole new light. \n*This is a special tour! After we finish walking\, author Frank Gorman will be signing copies of his book\, Confronting Bad History: How a Lost Cause and Fraudulent Book Caused the John Wilkes Booth Exhumation Trial. After assassinating Abraham Lincoln\, John Wilkes Booth was killed near Front Royal\, VA on April 26\, 1865 and eventually was buried at Green Mount Cemetery. In 1907\, an American lawyer\, author\, and conspiracy theorist proffered the notion that Booth in fact eluded capture and lived for many years afterward\, ultimately committing suicide in 1903. In 1994\, conspiracy theorists unsuccessfully petitioned Green Mount Cemetery to exhume his remains to verify this theory. They then filed suit against the cemetery\, resulting in a trial. In his book\, Frank Gorman\, who represented the cemetery at trial\, describes the overwhelming testimony and evidence showing that the myth of Booth’s 1903 death was a Lost Cause false narrative. \nThis tour is being offered in partnership with Baltimore Center Stage’s production of John Wilkes Booth: One Night Only. With your Green Mount Cemetery tour ticket\, you’ll receive a coupon code for $10 off a ticket to the show. \nAccessibility: Although there are some paved pathways\, we will be walking over mostly uneven grassy terrain and cobblestones. \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
