34 Arvie Smith, Baltimore my Baltimore (Detail), 2006: Courtesy of the Artist New History Exhibits Open in Baltimore The Reginald F. Lewis Museum of African American History and Culture and the Maryland Historical Society in collaboration with Maryland Institute College of Art and students in the Exhibition Development Seminar present “At Freedom’s Door: Challenging Slavery in Maryland.” The landmark exhibitions explore the history of slavery in Maryland and the vestiges of slavery that still remains in society. The exhibits bring together historical artifacts with contemporary artworks, including new works by internationally known artists, including William Christenberry, Sam Christian Holmes, and Joyce J. Scott. The exhibition runs through Oct. 28 at the Lewis Museum, 830 East Pratt Street and at the Historical Society, 201 David Claypool Johnston, Early Development of Southern Chivalry, c. 1861-65. Quilt Assembly: Photo by Aidah Aliyah Rasheed West Monument Street, both in downtown Baltimore. This exhibition tackles a subject crucial to the understanding of Maryland’s history and future. Through research, students in the Exhibition Development Seminar came to discover that the history of slavery in Maryland is complex and often contradictory due to Maryland’s unique position as the northernmost southern state and southernmost northern state. “At Freedom’s Door: Challenging Slavery in Maryland” intends to engage visitors in a civic dialogue on the modern issues of freedom, race, and social injustice by questioning how both enslaved and free Marylanders responded to, challenged, and defeated slavery as a legal institution. It seeks to dissolve myths and untruths concerning the history of slavery, as well as challenge the public perception of slavery and freedom. The exhibition juxtaposes a rich repository of historical artifacts and contemporary works of art. Visitors to the exhibits learn that anti-slavery activity was of critical importance in Maryland on both a personal and national level. With the existence of more than 100,000 free people of color in Maryland at the beginning of the Civil War, the historical part of the exhibition showcases how black and white Marylanders worked together to swing the weight of history in favor of freedom and helped change American history. The exhibitions’ contemporary component reminds visitors that the struggle for African Americans to achieve parity in American society was just beginning after the Civil War and, through the inventive use of contemporary art, illustrates that it has not yet ended.

1 Annapolis? Looking in the harbor from USNA area? 1930s? Rick Rhine 2. Spa Creek with Spa Creek wooden bridge and St Mary’s on Duke of Gloucester St Annapolis. Probably around years 1890-1900 in the a.m. in the winter. G. Irving 3. This is a picture of the Annapolis Harbor with St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in the background. The picture appears to be taken from the base of Prince George Street where it meets the waterfront. The trees indicate that the picture was taken during winter months when the “fleet” was in harbor and the shadows show that the sun is in the east, so it is morning. I cannot be precise regarding the date that the picture was taken but it was prior to 1948 when the low wooden bridge seen in the background crossing Spa Creek was replaced by the current drawbridge. I would guess that it was the 1920’s or 30’s. Karen Winters Mystery solved, it’s Annapolis Annapolis, 1934 The Mystery Photo on the back of the Spring issue of WaterWays drew only eight correct answers on the location of the busy harbor. Only readers Rick Rhine, Karen Winters and St. John Martin were close on the date. The photo was taken in Annapolis in 1934, probably from the deck of the Claiborne-to-Annapolis Ferry that docked at the foot of Prince George Street and is from the B. Frank Sherman Collection. See the new Mystery Photo on the back page of WaterWays and submit you answer by e-mail to editor@cbmm.org. 4. The place is easy...Annapolis Harbor (Spa Creek), looking SW toward St. Mary’s Church. The time is tougher. I’d guess early 20th century, pre-WW1. William Kranzer 5. The photo appears to be one looking up Spa Creek in Annapolis probably sometime in the 1930’s. St. Mary’s Church can be seen on the right. St. John Martin 6. The busy bay harbor mystery is Annapolis and I would guess about 1910. Charlie Willimann 7. The photo is Annapolis Harbor from the Eastport side of Spa Creek and my guess is the photo was taken before 1947 when the bridge over Spa Creek was changed from 4th St. to 6th St. on the Eastport Side. Bruce Morse 8. The mystery photo is of Annapolis harbor probably around the turn of the 20th century. I’ll guess 1905. Judy Parks 35
