(Re)Valuing Black Baltimore Exhibit Opening & Genealogy Talk

Homewood Museum

Join us for the opening of our newest exhibit!

(Re)Valuing Black Baltimore: Cross Keys, Bare Hills, and Hoes Heights (September 29, 2023 – June 2, 2024) explores and remembers three Black settlements in North Baltimore: Cross Keys, Bare Hills, and Hoe’s Heights. Drawing on historic maps, photographs, and oral histories of community descendants, the installation reflects upon the founders of these settlements and their ancestors who faced and withstood the racial forces at play in the nation. Christine Iko, librarian in the African American Department of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, will speak about how and where to begin your geneaological research, including the Enoch Pratt Free Library’s physical and digital resources, as well as outside resources such as Family Search, and federal and state government websites, such as the Legacy of Slavery in Maryland. This discussion is open to new and experienced genealogists.
