Linda Grace Morris: Baltimore Boomer Tales from the Hood
Baltimore was the place to be in the 1950s and 1960s, bustling with all the industry and social change about to come. For African Americans, it was a jobs magnet with all the major manufacturers. Those living in Turner Station and Sparrows Point, the company town built to host the Bethlehem Steel Company, had the highest per capita income for African Americans in the nation. Cherry Hill, the only planned community built for African Americans by the Federal Government, lifted many Baltimore Boomers into the middle class. This podcast walks down memory lane through the neighborhoods and good times--despite segregation--that those growing up there can never forget.

Deborah Butler Johnson's Life Lesson: The Best Gifts Come in Small Packages
Deborah Butler Johnson is another Cherry Hill success story because of the "village" that affirmed, supported, and loved on us. When Deborah was six-years-old, she was as tall as her Mother. At about that age, she was becoming aware that her Mother was a little person, at the time called a dwarf. Throughout her life, Deborah has learned that her Mother's height was not determinative of the Mother's heart that God provides to everyone He entrusts with the care of His precious children. Listen as Deborah shares her story and how the events of our time as Baby Boomers affected her.
