Five Minute Histories: Lumbee Heritage in East Baltimore

For today’s Five Minute Histories video, we come to you from in front of the Baltimore American Indian Center in Upper Fell’s Point to talk about the rich Lumbee heritage in East Baltimore. Tomorrow happens to be the birthday of one of the Center’s founders, Elizabeth Locklear. We appreciate her work and those of her peers. Also, thank you to Ashley Minner for sharing her fabulous research with us!
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Twice a week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and website.
