Monarch Academy Glen Burnie students tour Historic Baltimore, learning about Civil Rights

by

In Baltimore, Monarch students walk a path of civil rights history by Peter Crispino for The Baltimore Sun
“When eighth-graders at Monarch Academy crack open their textbooks to read about the lives of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall and Baltimore NAACP organizer Lillie Mae Carroll Jackson, they’ll do so knowing they’ve sat in the same church pews and walked along the same streets as the civil rights legends.

When they learn about segregation in Baltimore’s restaurants and parks, they’ll recall standing on the grassy plot in Druid Hill Park where a “colored-only” swimming pool once sat, just a short distance from the ornate recreation pavilion that was reserved for white patrons.

On Thursday, more than 70 students from Monarch Academy in Glen Burnie spent a day walking in the footsteps of civil rights leaders and viewing some of the locations where Marshall, Jackson and the Rev.MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. wrote history. Students learned throughout the day that while some storefronts may have changed names, the shadows of the men and women who visited them still loom large over the neighborhoods.”
