East Baltimore’s Lumbee Indian Community

A UMBC Professor's Work on Belonging

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 East Baltimore. She is creating an new archive to collect history of the community.

"Minner said the archive is not purely academic, but also an urgent project of reclamation — of history, of space, of belonging and the power of collective memory."
