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.

Hi. My name is Terrence Harmon. I enjoyed listening to Season 1 episode 38 about Helen Harmon Rowley. She’s my 2nd cousin She gave me insight on life on the eastern shore.
My name is Terry Banks. Jerry Luck was my first cousin and he and his brother Larry were the closest things I had as brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed your podcast. The Barbara that Kathy referenced was my late wife. Also, I think you got a discount. "Doc " charged most people $4!
