This Day In Maryland’s History – Enslaved Marylanders Receive Their Freedom

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Nov. 1 marked an important date for Maryland in 1864, for this was the day that every enslaved person in our state was legally granted their freedom. The Emancipation Proclamation had granted freedom to enslaved Americans across the rebel states nearly two years earlier, but since Maryland was a border state that remained in the Union, it required its own constitutional changes to abolish slavery once and for all.

Escape to Margaritaville at Dundalk Community Theatre

There I am, in the audience of Dundalk Community Theatre’s production of Jimmy Buffett’s Escape to Margaritaville Book by Greg Garcia and Mike O’Malley, Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett (a star born on Christmas day), waiting to see what Director Albert J. Boeren, Choreographer Unissa Cruse, and Music Director Jarrett Rettman had in store for my date and I, when the lights dimmed I was magically transported to “One Particular Harbor” of a charming Margaritaville resort on a Caribbean island far away from these cold mornings and the stressors of a world that could use a “License to Chill”.

Artists & Makers Studios | Montgomery County Woodturners and Friendship Star Quilters A Forest Meadow

Opening Reception: Friday, November 6 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Artists & Makers Studios is pleased to host Montgomery County Woodturners and Friendship Star Quilters for the month of November. The exhibit will run from November 4th through November 24th, with a First Friday opening on November 6th from 5-8pm. In this exhibit these two separate, traditional forms of artwork complement one another in their depictions of woodland meadows. After all, a meadow shows the hidden diversity within a forest when a tree has fallen, bringing forth a burst of flowers and smaller plants – providing quilters an opportunity to explore subject matter beyond trees. At the same time, the tree fall that creates such a meadow provides the wood that the wood-turning artists use to create their beautiful expressions of wonder.

Baltimore Film Screening Shows How 7,000 Homes Could Be Lost to Tangled Titles

About 7,000 Baltimore properties are likely heirs' property — family homes or land passed down through generations without the legal paperwork to put a living relative's name on the deed. That estimate, identified by the SOS Fund, framed Thursday evening's screening of the documentary “Baltimore Heirs: The Last Deed Undone” at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, which ran from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and highlighted how tangled titles are quietly draining generational wealth from Black families across the city.
