We have been amazed by your fidelity to share these conversations....we have held small group discussions about them with our black audiences....hopefully, one day you will be matured enough to share what we in east Baltimore call : Cotton Conversations....the creation of the East Baltimore Historical Library is a modern day Hard Story that JHU continues to play a heavy hand in scripting. Hope to hear from you before I reach 82...as I am 72 yrs young, now. Keeping it moving, Nia Redmond - East Baltimore Historical Library- eastbaltimore101@gmail.com
Another important wrinkle to the Johns Hopkins story. Thanks. Seeing Miles White's name made me smile. While documenting the 1100 block of Sarah Ann Street in the Poppleton neighborhood -- you may have seen them in the news this week after the city announced plans to rehab the properties and save the nearby Eaddy home -- I learned that Miles White had the row of 12 houses built in 1870-1871. White (1792-1876) was also Johns Hopkins' brother-in-law. In 1849, about a year after coming to Baltimore from North Carolina. the Quaker merchant married Margaret Hopkins, Johns' youngest sibling. Over the next 25 years, White acquired amassed hundreds of properties across Baltimore and in at least nine states. Ten of the 12 Sarah Ann Street alley houses remained in the White family, passing from father to son to grandson, until 1949. Another story, I know, but worth throwing out there I figured as all things are interconnected. Dean Krimmel (deankrimmel@qm2.org)
