SUMMARY:Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project Talk at Timothy Baptist Church
DESCRIPTION:We are happy to help the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Task Force spread the news about their upcoming black history lecture. The task force is endeavoring to erect a permanent memorial in recognition of the thousands of African Americans interred at Historic Laurel Cemetery\, to ensure the safety and stability of the site into the foreseeable future\, and to educate the public about the rich history of the cemetery and the lives of those buried there. \nLaurel 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\, members of the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.) and notables such as Civil Rights activist Reverend Harvey Johnson. \nIn 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 have no knowledge of the site’s former purpose and significance. Join us to learn more about the important history of the site and how we can preserve its memory.

SUMMARY:Destination Baltimore: A Talk on the Story of Immigration and Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:Event Cancelled \n\nFor more than two centuries and for almost two million people\, Baltimore was the destination that promised hope and opportunity–a new life. In this talk\, historian Jack Burkert will discuss the realities of immigrating to America. Beginning in the 18th century\, and accelerating through the 19th century\, immigrants provided the labor force necessary for Baltimore to become an industrial powerhouse. They built critical infrastructure\, created steel in mills\, and assembled garments in Baltimore’s burgeoning manufacturing world. New arrivals would congregate in neighborhoods where friends and relatives lived and the language was familiar. In these enclaves\, everyday customs from their home countries persisted and flourished.  \nThroughout the 20th century\, new arrivals from other parts of America continued to fuel Baltimore’s growth. The Great Migration and the Hillbilly Migration added to Baltimore’s dynamic heritage. Who were these people? Where were they from? Why did they leave home? We hope you’ll join us to explore these questions and more at this lecture!
