SUMMARY:Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project
DESCRIPTION:Informational Exhibit Currently on Display\nOne Charles Center\, 100 N. Charles Street\, Baltimore\, MD\, 21201\nCourtesy of The American Institute of Architects and Baltimore Heritage\nBackground Information\nLaurel Cemetery (1852-1958) existed for over 100 years as a nonsectarian cemetery for Baltimore’s African American community. However\, the cemetery was demolished amid controversy in 1958 to make room for the development of a shopping center. This was done despite the objection of Baltimore’s African American community\, who were led to believe that the human remains from the cemetery has all been exhumed and moved along with the headstones to a new site in Carroll County. Today\, the Belair-Edison Crossing shopping center occupies the footprint of the old cemetery. \nHistory of the Laurel Cemetery Project\nIn spring 2014\, University of Baltimore and Coppin State University professors initiated the Laurel Cemetery Project as an inter-institutional project for students interested in cultural resource management\, history\, archaeology\, and environmental sustainability. Through archaeological excavation\, faculty and student researchers found conclusive evidence that burials still existed at the original site. Current efforts focus on public education\, research into the lives of those buried at the site\, and plans for the erection of a memorial to recognize the burial ground. \n \nAuthors & Researchers\nIsaac Shearn\, Ph.D.\nCoppin State University\nisaacshearn@gmail.com \nElgin Klugh\, Ph.D.\nCoppin State University\neklugh@coppin.edu \nRon Castanzo\, Ph.D.\nUniversity of Baltimore\nreastanzo@aiabalt.com \nBaltimore Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society (B.A.A.H.G.S.) \n
