Segregation and Desegregation in Postwar Baltimore

Segregation and Desegregation in Postwar Baltimore is an oral history collection focused on Jim Crow laws and impacts in Baltimore, conducted on cassette tape by historian David Taft Terry, PhD, between 1997 and 2003. An associate professor of history and coordinator of museum studies at Morgan State University, Dr. Terry conducted these oral histories as part of his dissertation research at Howard University. While narrators discuss a variety of topics, each narrator speaks about educational experiences in Jim Crow schools leading up to 1954, family backgrounds and roots in Baltimore or migration to Baltimore, and race relations and experiences with "other" racial groups in the 1940s and 1950s.
