Less well known is that thousands of Black Marylanders also returned to West Africa in the nineteenth century and left an important imprint on the other side of the Atlantic. Professor Herbert Brewer of Morgan State University will discuss this process of ‘reversing the sail,’ and the historical significance of the diaspora of...

On June 19, 1865, the federal government finally met that objective, declaring slavery dead across the country. This momentous event marked a new birth of freedom—an occasion we now commemorate as Juneteenth. Registration...
