About the Event
In Memory of Louis Diggs: A Special Viewing of Voices of Baltimore" Life Under Segregation (followed by a conversation with the film participants who shared in the production of this film and fought alongside him for justice and equality)
Voices of Baltimore: Life under Segregation (2018) captures and preserves the rich oral histories of an aging and diminishing population of African Americans who 1) grew up in the Mason/Dixon border area of Baltimore, and 2) who lived through the era of legal segregation (i.e., Jim Crow south). The goal of the project is to record digitally and present these narratives through audio and film documentation. The narratives will document the relevant lives of individuals who attended segregated schools and/or desegregation before and following the 1954 Supreme Court Brown v Board of Education ruling.
