UB administration and faculty members in the law school and in the undergraduate departments of history and community studies are planning a series of projects and events to commemorate the 40th anniversary of this pivotal event. We are currently working with the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History, The Jewish Museum of Maryland, Maryland Public Television and the Enoch Pratt Free Libraries to pursue funding for projects that may include conferences, a website and a library traveling exhibit. Your potential participation in an oral history project would contribute to the very foundation of this project – the memories of Baltimoreans who lived through the riots and saw the changes that came about in response to them.

Occupations: Mayor; City Attorney; Academic Administrator Biographical Note Mayor, city attorney, and academic administrator Hon. Kurt L.

Schmoke attended Baltimore City College, a public high school, where he was the quarterback of the school’s state champion football team. Schmoke’s parents and pastor, Marion Bascom of the Douglas Memorial Community Church, encouraged his academic career. Schmoke was also mentored by Baltimore Judge Robert Hammerman, who asked him to join the Lancers Boys Club, a youth organization that Hammerman ran in his spare time. Schmoke attended Yale University, where he continued to excel in school and athletics, and was chosen to represent the student body during the turmoil that surrounded the 1970 trial of Black Panther Bobby Seale.

  • The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillm
    “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By: Thomas Anthony Gass, M.A. Department of History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Advisor Dr. Kevin Boyle Dr. Curtis Austin 1 Copyright by Thomas Anthony Gass 2014 2 Abstract “A Mean City”: The NAACP and the Black Freedom Struggle in Baltimore, 1935-1975” traces the history and activities of the Baltimore branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) from its revitalization during the Great Depression to the end of the Black Power Movement. The dissertation examines the NAACP’s efforts to eliminate racial discrimination and segregation in a city and state that was “neither North nor South” while carrying out the national directives of the parent body. In doing so, its ideas, tactics, strategies, and methods influenced the growth of the national civil rights movement. ii Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to the Jackson, Mitchell, and Murphy families and the countless number of African Americans and their white allies throughout Baltimore and Maryland that strove to make “The Free State” live up to its moniker. It is also dedicated to family members who have passed on but left their mark on this work and myself. They are my grandparents, Lucious and Mattie Gass, Barbara Johns Powell, William “Billy” Spencer, and Cynthia L. “Bunny” Jones. This victory is theirs as well. iii Acknowledgements This dissertation has certainly been a long time coming.

(MIC NOISE) (LAUGHTER) A long time ago, in the land of Sessa Marimbe, the people there were so happy. They were happy every single day of their lives. Do you know why? Because the sky was right above their heads. I mean, the sky was so close to their heads, everybody could just reach up their hands and everybody could touch the sky. But not only was the sky right above their heads, the sky was also food, chakula. Can you say chakula? VOICES: Chakula. TRANSCRIPT: CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE–BALTIMORE WITH PATRICK GASPARD AND THE 2018 2 OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE COMMUNITY FELLOWS MARIA BROOM: Yes, and it was so delicious. That meant that if the children were hungry, instead of having to run home to their parents to eat anything, all they had to do was reach up their little fingers, grab a piece of that sky, pop into their mouths and they were happy. Or the women.

  • Race Plays a Complex Role in Detroit Election
    OCT. 27, 2013 Race plays a complex role in Detroit election Maryland State Delegate Howard P. (Pete) Rawlings was shouting into my ear over the phone, more exercised than I'd ever heard him, over the Baltimore Sun's mayoral endorsement in the summer of 1999. I was the paper's deputy editorial page editor, and the Sun had backed Carl Stokes, an African-American former city councilman. Rawlings, the first African-American legislator to chair the powerful Maryland House Appropriations Committee and a kingmaker in local politics, was backing Martin O'Malley, a white city councilman. O'Malley and Stokes were competing to succeed Kurt Schmoke, the city's first elected black mayor. In the few empty spaces between Rawling's furious verbal assaults, I tried to explain the paper's thinking. All things being equal, I said, we thought the city's African-American population was entitled to leadership that reflected their majority (Baltimore was then about 65% black). O'Malley was a good choice, but so was Stokes. We thought Stokes would make a fine mayor, in touch with the needs and experiences of the city's population, and we believed he would be key to developing future leaders. Rawlings stopped me dead. "You dummies, the future of black leadership in Baltimore, in fact the future of all leadership, runs way more through Martin O'Malley than it does through Carl Stokes," he said. "You're using race as a crude tool for simple analysis. I wish you could see that it's more complicated than that." Rawlings' lecture has been ringing in my ears all year, revived by Detroit's race- tinged mayoral campaign.

  • Improving the Economic Competitiveness of Baltimore City
    IMPROVING THE ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS OF BALTIMORE CITY THROUGH PROPERTY TAX REFORM by Christy Larrimore A practicum thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Real Estate Baltimore, Maryland December, 2011 © 2011 Christy Larrimore All Rights Reserved TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE ABSTRACT 3 INTRODUCTION 4 REFORM FRAMEWORK Broad Principles of Urban Fiscal Policy & Governance 8 Competitive Urban Characteristics 10 Goals for Economic Efficiency 12 U.S. City Examples Boston, MA 17 San Francisco, CA 17 Chicago, IL 18 THE PROPERTY TAX PROBLEM IN BALTIMORE CITY Overview of Problem 20 Assessment & Appeal Procedure 21 Special Credits 22 REFORM & RESOLVE Current Reform Proposals & Conclusions 25 Recommendation 29 REFERENCES 31 APPENDICES Appendix A – Table 11.1 32 Appendix B – Table 11.2 33 Appendix C – Table 11.3 34 Appendix D – Table 11.4 35 Appendix E – Table 11.5 36 BALTIMORE CITY PROPERTY TAX REFORM 2 ABSTRACT Baltimore City, battling the negative effects of a decaying economy, also continues to face a serious problem with its property tax policy. In light of this ongoing issue, this practicum aims to identify the current proposal options, evaluate their potential effectiveness and offer a solution. A framework of basic economic principles, characteristics of competitiveness, goals for economic efficiency and examples of other U.S. cities was identified in order to assess the current tax reform proposals. It was concluded that the property tax reform proposal that has the most potential in fostering economic efficiency in the short-term while managing the competitiveness of Baltimore City in the long-term was one that combined a dramatic tax cut with other economic principles and characteristics.
