À propos de cet audio

Baltimore was the place to be in the 1950s and 1960s, bustling with all the industry and social change about to come. For African Americans, it was a jobs magnet with all the major manufacturers. Those living in Turner Station and Sparrows Point, the company town built to host the Bethlehem Steel Company, had the highest per capita income for African Americans in the nation. Cherry Hill, the only planned community built for African Americans by the Federal Government, lifted many Baltimore Boomers into the middle class. This podcast walks down memory lane through the neighborhoods and good times--despite segregation--that those growing up there can never forget.

    I have my good friend, the late Maxine Richardson, to thank for my career at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Maxine was the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Officer at the National Cancer Institute when she hired me in 1980 as an EEO Specialist. I was working for the Baltimore Field Office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission at the Rotunda in Roland Park, and this was my entry position into the Federal Government. Maxine took me under her wing to mentor me about the politics of the NIH, as well as how to maneuver the complexity of the organizational structure. It wasn't long before we were friends and sharing information about our families. Maxine and her husband, Wendell, both became very dear to me. In this episode, Maxine's daughter shares her memories of growing up in a blended family. She is the spitting image of her Mom!
