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.

Kai Jackson: Baltimore Anchorman Supreme
Kai Jackson is the most down-to-earth television personality that you ever will meet. I should have known this because we have been chatting over the past few years about me helping him with a project on Cherry Hill. A native of Washington, DC, he grew up in the Glen Arden section of Prince George's County. Kai was born in 1964, so he just did make it into the Boomer generation. Listen as he shares his story.
