Description
A number of approximately forty portraits with mini biographies of Maryland’s peculiar African American women and men. Included are widely known luminaries Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, “Baby Joe” Gans, Leon Day, Lillie Carroll Jackson, and Thurgood Marshall and equally brave yet no longer-so-famous Marylanders such as Ann Weems, a 15-year-old runaway slave, writer Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, physician Louise Young, and Harry Cummings, the primary African American to carry public place of work in Baltimore City.
