BALTIMORE HISTORY BEING LOST: Rev. Dr. Harvey Johnson by Rev. Al Hathaway, Pastor, Union Baptist Church:
This is a picture of The Reverend Dr. Harvey Johnson, a leading African American Pastor at the turn of the 20th Century.

Too many of Baltimore's leading citizens who had the honor of a school building named for them are being lost because of school closings and restructuring.
