Professor of African American History and Culture Bernard Demczuk on how Maryland’s Eastern Shore, a century after the Emancipation Proclamation, was known as “Maryland’s Mississippi” because of pervasive racial oppression and discrimination, about the civil rights and labor organizing that began in Cambridge, Maryland, and how that town became the site of the longest period of martial law within the United States since 1877, and how that that history carries on today in movements like Black Lives Matter.
