  • 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.

  • PROJECT TITLE: Civil Rights Exhibition
    Application PDF Maryland Historical Society Civil Rights Exhibition Request: $50,000.00 Baltimore National Total Match: $50,000.00 Baltimore City PROJECT TITLE: Civil Rights Exhibition PROJECT SUMMARY: The Maryland Historical Society (MdHS) seeks support for the design and fabrication of its major FY21 exhibition focused on African American Civil Rights. The following collections and smaller initiatives that MdHS has presented since 2013 will culminate in this exhibit to tell the larger story about the African American Civil Rights Movement that extends from the Reconstruction Era to the present day: (i) MdHS stewards 6,000 photographs by Paul Henderson, a prominent Afro-American Newspaper photographer. Henderson documented many integral Civil Rights moments from the 1940s to 60s that captured important events, groups, and people, such as the protest at segregated Ford's Theatre in Baltimore, NAACP membership campaign meetings at Sharp Street Church, the Baltimore Elite Giants Negro League baseball team, Morgan State College, Dr. Lillie May Carroll Jackson (head of the NAACP, 1935-1970) and family, Thurgood Marshall with Dr. Carl Murphy (editor-publisher of the Afro-American newspaper), Henderson's photography equipment, and ephemera from his manuscript collection. (ii) Preserve the Baltimore Uprising 2015 Archive Project (PBU) is a digital repository that preserves digital media, including photographs, videos, oral histories, and city documents, created by participants and witnesses to the protests and unrest that followed the death of Freddie Gray on April 19, 2015. MdHS produced a free online resource presenting this media and ensuring that the historical record includes diverse perspectives from people whose lives have been directly impacted by these complex events.

  • Esther Mcready, RN: Nursing Advocate for Civil Rights
    Archived version from NCDOCKS Institutional Repository http://libres.uncg.edu/ir/asu/ Esther McReady, RN: Nursing Advocate For Civil Rights By: Phoebe A. Pollitt, PhD, RN Abstract More than a decade before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as an African American teenager from Baltimore, Maryland, Esther McCready challenged the discriminatory admissions policies of the University of Maryland School of Nursing (UMSON). The article explores nurse advocacy and how Esther McCready advocated for herself and greater racial equity in nursing education during a time of civil rights turmoil. Her actions eventually resulted in the formation of numerous schools of nursing for African Americans across the south. This article recounts McCready’s early life experiences and the powerful impact her actions had on creating educational options for nurses during a time when they were severely limited for African American women, including discussion of her student days at UMSON and her journey after nursing school. A review of pertinent legal cases and policies related to segregation and integration of higher education in the mid-twentieth century is presented, along with details of McCready’s continued education and advocacy.
