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.

When I met Fandreia Bowman working on the Bob Wallace for Mayor campaign, I was impressed with her drive. She tackled every task--large or small--with the same level of determination. After interviewing her for this episode, I understand where that drive comes from. It is in her DNA. Fandreia comes from a long line of doers who have molded her into the compassionate educator who takes on responsibility for all the children she encounters. My hat is off to Fandreia as she shares her story.
