Director's Circle members of the Johns Hopkins University Museums are invited to this exclusive talk and reception with University of Iowa Assistant Professor of English & African American Studies, Tara A. Bynum, Ph.D.
Lawrence Jackson, Ph.D., will read and discuss his 2022 memoir Shelter: A Black Tale of Homeland, Baltimore, which is at once a nuanced biography of an American city and a lyrical memoir-in-essays.
Join us for a discussion on the history of Hoes Heights, with special guests Joanne Kent and Eleanor Matthews, descendants of Grandison Hoe, the farmer and freedman who founded the neighborhood in the 1830’s.
