Professor Denise\nMeringolo<\/a> established Preserve the Baltimore Uprising in April 2015,\nshortly after protests and unrest erupted in response to Freddie Gray\u2019s violent\narrest and his death while in police custody. It is housed on Reclaim Hosting<\/a>, and it is managed\ncooperatively by the UMBC\nPublic History program<\/a> and the Maryland\nHistorical Society<\/a>. Anyone can upload digital materials directly to the\ncollection from smartphones and other devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 2018-2019 school year, the Whiting\nFoundation Public Engagement Program<\/a> provided financial support to activate\nthe digital collection as the center of a community-based oral history project.\nThe project team consisted of Denise Meringolo and Lee Boot at UMBC, Denise\nGriffin Johnson of the USDAC CultureWorks, Joe Tropea and David Armenti at the\nMaryland Historical Society, and Frank Anderson from the UMBC Choice Program.\nThe team organized and recorded several community conversations to document\nlocal people\u2019s understanding of the Uprising of 2015. They also worked with\nBaltimore City teachers and students to develop new lines of inquiry, to\nconduct oral histories and other relevant historical research, and to develop\ninterpretive projects that promote a deeper understanding of the historical\nroots, contemporary experiences, and long-term implications of racial\ninjustice, economic inequality, and social and political unrest in Baltimore. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classroom teachers George Lewis<\/a>\nand Patrick\nBrynes<\/a> adapted the project materials, transforming them into the curricular\nmaterials on this site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Arvisu assembled the secondary source reading list,\nselections from which are included in lesson number two<\/p>\n\n\n\n
