Thurgood Marshall’s courthouse
Thurgood Marshall’s argument in the case of Murray v. Pearson, here in the city courthouse, reminds us how acts of justice have always been possible here in Baltimore.
History tells us how we got here.
Hard Histories show us a way forward.
Launched in fall 2020, the Hard Histories at Hopkins Project examines the role that racism and discrimination have played at Johns Hopkins. Blending research, teaching, public engagement and the creative arts, Hard Histories aims to engage our broadest communities—at Johns Hopkins and in Baltimore—in a frank and informed exploration of how racism has been produced and permitted to persist as part of our structure and our practice.
Through the lessons of hard histories we will chart a way forward. Join us.
In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
