The Baltimore National Heritage Area presents the lunchtime lecture series,”It’s More than History,” at the Peale from February 15 – April 12 2019. All talks are from 12 – 1pm and are free (lunch not provided). Bring your lunch and join us!
March 15, 12:00 – 1:00pm: Baltimore’s Native Americans, The Lumbee Tribe Settlement
Presenter: Ashley Minner is an enrolled member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina and folklorist for the Maryland State Arts Council.
Following WWII, Lumbee Indians from rural North Carolina moved to Baltimore, forming a large satellite community with numbers reaching into the thousands. Baltimore’s Lumbee community is absent from popular narratives of the city, and has even been referred to as “invisible.” The March lecture will shed light on this Baltimore community and its people and places.
