“Learning from the Past and Celebrating the Future of African Americans in Baltimore County:
In honor of Black History Month, Atrium Village retirement community will host local African American historian, Louis S. Diggs, on February 26th, 2010, at 2:30 pm, at 4730 Atrium Court, Owings Mills, MD.
A respected author, Mr. Diggs has published nine books on the history of the forty Baltimore County designated Historical African American communities. His most recent, “Forgotten Road Warriors,” documents the history of an all African American military organization, from the Baltimore Region, in 1879, called “Monumental City Guards.” Mr. Diggs also often shares with the public a photographic display of over 8,000 photographs of African American life in Baltimore County.

Does This Answer Your Question, Mr. Steiner?:
At last, the truth must be told.
I was recently invited by Mark Steiner and Anthony McCarthy to appear on their radio show. The other guest was local media icon Richard Sher. Formerly of WJZ TV 13, Sher is now the host of a resurrected “Square Off” on ABC in Baltimore, thanks to Billy and Hassan Murphy. I should mention that one of my mentees, Ms. Catalina Byrd, has been holding her own on the show (Great job, Sister!). A remake which tantalized television audiences for years, the show featured intense political discussions featuring some of the most intriguing people of the day, including Georgia Goslee, Billy Murphy, and Madeline Murphy.
