SUMMARY:Building Baltimore: A Talk on Immigration and Opportunity by Jack Burkert
DESCRIPTION:For almost two million people\, Baltimore was the destination that promised a new life\, hope and opportunity. Beginning in earnest in the 18th century\, accelerating through the 19th\, immigrants provided the labor force necessary for Baltimore to become an industrial powerhouse. Early arrivals endured often tortuous Atlantic crossings under sail. Later steam powered ships sped the trip\, but steerage accommodation offered little improvement to time spent at sea.  Who were these people? Where were they from? Why did they abandon their homes? On March 1\, join Baltimore historian Jack Burkert to explore immigration into Baltimore. \n  \nAbove: Immigrants at Locust Point\, 1904 (Image courtesy of the Maryland Center for History and Culture)
