East Towson: from Jim Crow to Black Lives Matter
Friday, October 9 at 10 a.m.
East Towson is an historic African American neighborhood located on the eastern side of Towson. This presentation will trace its founding by formerly enslaved people from Hampton Plantation through many societal pressures to its present day. Using photographs and maps, Carol Allen, local historic preservationist, will introduce us to original log houses, Carver High School (a reminder of our segregated schools), churches, social clubs and some former residents. She will demonstrate the effects of racism on this tight knit community, which are still evident today.
