Baltimore: Persons and Places

by Mark N. Ozer

Who? Where? When? and Why? These are the questions to be answered when exploring Baltimore. A great port on the east coast connected to the Mid-west; it was also a major industrial city. The Gateway to the South, it is both a southern and northern city, split during the Civil War and for the next one hundred years. It was unique among American cities as a home for the Great Migrations of both blacks and whites in both the 19th and 20th centuries. It still remains a place “for good living,” where the grittiness of its people offer hope for its redemption in the 21st century.
