SUMMARY:Out of the Ashes: The Great Baltimore Fire of 1904
DESCRIPTION:In February 1904\, Baltimore’s chief firefighter cabled Washington DC: “Desperate fire here. Must have help at once!” A tremendous fire was sweeping through downtown and showed little signs of stopping. Not until 5:00 p.m. the next day was the fire brought under control. Overall\, it destroyed 1500 buildings\, left 35\,000 people unemployed\, and damaged $150 million of property. Resilient Baltimore rebounded quickly\, erecting new buildings\, widening streets\, and improving fire safety designs. Rising out of the ashes\, Baltimore used the fire to rethink the city\, and the downtown we know today is shaped largely by this incident. Join us on this walking tour as we see what 2500 degrees Fahrenheit heat can do to blocks of solid stone\, learn how the fire shaped architecture locally and across the country\, and hear the tale of one of the fire’s great heroes: Goliath the horse. \n  \nOur Monumental City tours are guided walks exploring iconic Baltimore landmarks in Downtown\, Ridgely’s Delight\, Mount Vernon and Federal Hill on the first four Sundays of each month from April through November\, except holiday weekends.

SUMMARY:Event Canceled: Remembering Laurel Cemetery (Lecture & Exhibition Reception)
DESCRIPTION:Event Canceled \n\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 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 members of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to learn more about the important history of the site and how we can preserve its memory. \n  \n\nOur Presenters \nRon Castanzo (UB)- discusses the archaeological portion of the project \nElgin Klugh (CSU)- discusses our efforts for public outreach and engagement \nGlenn Blackwell – discusses the efforts of the Baltimore Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society in researching death certificates \nDonna Hollie – discusses biographies of individuals buried at Laurel Cemetery \nIsaac Shearn – discusses issues regarding the closing and demolition of the cemetery and the formation and design of the Timeline Exhibit \n  \nALL PROCEEDS WILL BE DONATED TO THE LAUREL CEMETERY MEMORIAL FUND

SUMMARY:Coming to America: Baltimore’s Immigration History (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Baltimore served as America’s third largest port of entry during the Great Wave of Immigration of 1830 to 1914. In 1868\, the B&O Railroad partnered with the North German Lloyd Company of Bremen\, Germany\, to build and operate a pier for immigrant ships in Locust Point\, where 1.2 million immigrants first set foot on American soil. They included people from all over Europe\, including Germans\, Irish\, Lithuanians\, Czechs\, Poles and Italians\, who established their neighborhoods\, as well as churches\, synagogues\, schools\, cultural and philanthropic institutions\, which eased the transition from their old country to life in America\, and added to the rich diversity of our city. Join Nicholas Fessenden from Baltimore Immigration Museum to learn more about our immigrant past and today’s efforts to document and celebrate our diverse roots. \n  \nAbout Our Presenter \nDr. Nicholas Fessenden is the historian/treasurer and co-founder of the Baltimore Immigration Museum. He taught history at Friends School from 1972 to 2010 and also taught as an adjunct at Towson University\, Maryland Institute of Art\, and Community College of Baltimore County. \n  \nAbout This Event \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.
