SUMMARY:Being Literate\, Being Free (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Despite the harshness and cruelty that slavery inflicted on people of color\, whether they were enslaved or free\, these people derived creative methods to learn to read and write as an essential first step toward freedom. \nFrederick Douglass said that it was through reading that he first heard “the silver trump of freedom.” Thus\, it was literacy\, the ability to read\, write\, and understand information\, that showed Douglass and countless other blacks the pathway from slavery to freedom. \nThrough her Virtual Histories webinar Being Literate\, Being Free\, Dr. Joanne Martin will highlight historical personalities for whom literacy was the key to a future of freedom and hope for a people who were coming to understand that “If you would keep a people enslaved\, refuse to teach them to read”. \n  \nMeet the Speaker  \nDrs. Elmer and Joanne Martin founded The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum in Baltimore\, over thirty years ago. \nThe Museum is the nation’s first wax museum concentrating on black history\, life and culture. It is a national attraction and has been featured on major television networks (CNN\, NBC\,BET\, etc.); magazines (Jet\, Essence\, Black Enterprise\, etc.); and newspapers (The Washington Post\, New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, etc.). \nDr. Joanne Martin received a BA from Florida A&M University\, Tallahassee\, Florida; MA degrees from Atlanta University\, Atlanta Georgia and Case Western Reserve University\, Cleveland Ohio: and her PhD from Howard University\, Washington\, DC. \nA noted historian\, educator and researcher\, she performs most of the Museum’s curatorial duties and has laid the groundwork for both architectural and exhibition design for the expanded Museum. Her principal role is to ensure the intellectual integrity of all interpretive materials and approaches\, particularly relating to exhibition concepts\, storyline\, and texts. She also provides guidance and direction to the Museum Educator in identifying curriculum-appropriate educational programming for k-12 students and alignment with U.S. and State of Maryland curriculum standards. \nUpon registering\, you should recieve an email confirmation with a link to request the Zoom link. If you have any questions\, please contact Meghan Hudson at mhudson@aiabalt.com at least one hour before the start of the event.

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.

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.
