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.

    I first met Rethia Roach in my early years at Cherry Hill Elementary School #159. She lived right in front of the school. How neat! I caught up with her as she was visiting with Jacqueline Sewell Thomas, the subject of Episode 17. We had a wonderful time discussing our life in Cherry Hill.

    Baltimore's Billy Murphy truly is a man of the people. Everyone knows of his legal prowess from him winning some of the most prominent cases of our time. He is a crusader for the underrepresented and the downtrodden. The only thing he is missing is his superhero's cape. However, he is too modest to even accept the notion that he is one. Hear a side of Billy that you might not have heard before.
