Baltimore American Indian Center History

The video, presented by Johns Hopkins from Baltimore Heritage, explores the Lumbee heritage in East Baltimore. It acknowledges Ashley Minner's research and celebrates Elizabeth Locklear's contributions. The Lumbee trace their roots to North Carolina and migrated to Baltimore post-WWII. They established a community and church, with support from Mayor Schaefer. The Baltimore American Indian Center was founded to preserve Indian culture. The historic building, now a cultural hub, hosts events and a museum. The video concludes with resources for further exploration.
