SUMMARY:Baltimore's Road Wars (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:On April 28\, join historian and author Ev Paull as he discusses his book\, Stop the Road\, an up-close-and-personal account of Baltimore’s epic 40-year battle over expressway plans. Meet the unsung heroes\, a ragtag band of neighborhood activists\, preservationists\, and environmentalists who saved Baltimore from its own leadership\, thereby protecting Baltimore’s historic waterfront communities of Federal Hill\, Fell’s Point\, and Canton. But that glorious and unlikely win must be tempered with the equally compelling but inglorious story behind the disastrous Highway to Nowhere. This is Baltimore unmasked and laid threadbare for the most momentous decisions since the building of the B&O Railroad. \n  \nMeet the Speaker \nNorthwest Baltimore resident E. Evans Paull spent 45 years as a city planner working in Baltimore and nationally on urban redevelopment issues. He began his career in the Baltimore City Department of Planning as a generalist planner before specializing in the redevelopment of brownfields. After starting and managing Baltimore’s Brownfields Initiative\, he tackled these same issues at a national level\, working first for Northeast-Midwest Institute before becoming director of the National Brownfields Coalition and finally running his consulting business\, Redevelopment Economics. Although now retired\, many of his published articles and papers still appear on the Redevelopment Economics website. \n  \nUpon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation to request a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact Meghan Hudson (mhudson@aiabalt.com). If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance.

SUMMARY:Coming to Baltimore: Immigrants Old and New (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:It is a little known fact of our history that Baltimore served as America’s third largest port of entry during the Great Wave of Immigration from 1830 to 1924\, when 1.5 million immigrants first set foot on American soil in our city. They included people from all over Europe\, including Germans\, Irish\, Jews\, Poles\, Lithuanians\, Czechs and Italians\, who established neighborhoods\, as well as churches\, schools\, cultural and philanthropic societies\, which eased the transition from their old country. Ethnic savings and loans extended mortgages to their compatriots\, enabling them to purchase modest rowhouses\, with percentages of homeownership as high as 75% for some groups. In the 1920s\, Congress passed restrictive immigration laws\, prompting the Great Migration. Thousands of people from the rural South and Appalachians\, both Black and white\, journeyed to Baltimore to find work in Baltimore’s industries. In 1965\, Congress liberalized our immigration laws\, and immigrants from Latin America and Asia settled in our country and in our region. The Baltimore Immigration Museum\, located in a building which was an immigrant boarding house in Locust Point\, celebrates the rich diversity of those who made the lengthy journey to our region. \nMeet the Speaker \nNicholas Fessenden earned a B.A. in History at Yale\, and an M.A. and Ph.D in 1972 from Columbia University\, also in History. He taught History in the Upper School at Friends School of Baltimore (1972 – 2010)\, as well as History at Maryland Institute of Art (1981 – 2000) as an adjunct. Since retirement in 2010\, he has taught at CCBC/Owings Mills and at the Osher Institute at Towson University. He serves on the board of the Baltimore Immigration Memorial\, which opened a museum in Locust Point two years ago\, chronicling Baltimore’s immigration history. We at the museum have welcomed visitors from the public at large\, as well as from schools\, colleges\, universities\, retirement communities and genealogical societies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation to request a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact Meghan Hudson (mhudson@aiabalt.com). If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance.

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:Baltimore Mid-Century: A Talk by Jack Burkert
DESCRIPTION:On March 30\, join historian Jack Burkert to discover how the 1950’s made lasting changes to the way people lived\, how they moved in and around the region\, and where they found employment. From the early “crisis” in absorbing returning veterans and new families\, to the way those new families would seek entertainment and recreation\, Baltimore would be a far different place in 1959 than it was in 1950. Automobiles and the highways they rode on took over. The “Red Scare” went local\, labor strikes begat unintended consequences while hula hoops\, poodle skirts and fast food became modern trends. A decade many recall\, but few realize how much of Baltimore’s 21st century had roots in the 1950’s.

SUMMARY:Sites of the Baltimore Slave Trade: A Talk by Richard Messick
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 18 to hear Richard Messick discuss the growth of the domestic slave trade in Baltimore\, the various methods and locations of sale\, and some of the more notorious traders in the business of selling people. After its incorporation in the late 18th century\, the population of Baltimore grew very quickly along with the expansion of the new country. The market for the sale of people that grew up in the Mid-Atlantic region was also extensive. Although many of the associated buildings no longer exist\, Richard Messick’s research and mapping project show the deeply interwoven relationship between the trade of human beings and our streets of Baltimore.

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)

SUMMARY:American Revolution and the Fate of the World: A Talk by Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:The American Revolution was not only the colonies’ triumphant liberation from the rule of an overbearing England; it was also a cataclysm that pulled in participants from around the globe and threw the entire world order into chaos. The “War of Independence” manifests itself as a sprawling struggle that upended the lives of millions of people on every continent and fundamentally transformed the way the world works\, disrupting trade\, restructuring penal systems\, stirring famine\, and creating the first global refugee crisis. On April 12\, join acclaimed University of Maryland history professor Dr. Richard Bell as he upends much of what we thought we knew about the American Revolution.

SUMMARY:The Making of America’s Greatest Classical Architect: A Talk by Charlie Duff
DESCRIPTION:John Russell Pope designed the National Gallery\, the National Archives\, the Jefferson Memorial\, and dozens of other buildings of national importance. He was arguably the greatest master of classical architecture in American history. So how did this New Yorker get his start in Baltimore? He wasn’t from here. He didn’t go to school here. But it was a Baltimorean who gave him his first independent commission\, and it was Baltimoreans who gave him the chance to build his first museum. On May 24\, join Baltimore historian and architecture buff Charlie Duff to investigate Pope’s work in Baltimore and his lasting impact on America.
