Native American Community in Baltimore

Ashley Minner, a UMBC Professor of Practice in the Department of American Studies, undertakes a mission to share the stories of the Lumbee community in Baltimore. She is creating an new archive to collect history of the community, including a more accurate map of how the neighborhood used to be in Baltimore. It will also include oral histories and contributions from elders. This article is featured in the Smithsonian Magazine and can be read in its entirety here.
