It quickly became a popular place of burial for people across Black Baltimore’s socioeconomic spectrum\, including 230 Black Civil War veterans and notables such as Civil Rights activist Reverend Harvey Johnson. \nIn 1958 and after a series of lawsuits failed to prevail in the courts\, Laurel Cemetery was leveled. Today it is the site of the Belair-Edison Crossing Shopping Center\, and home to several businesses. However\, many current patrons and nearby residents have no knowledge of the site’s former purpose and significance. Join Dr. Isaac Shearn of the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project to learn more about the important history of the site and how we can preserve its memory. \nAbout Our Presenter \nIsaac Shearn earned his PhD in 2014 at the University of Florida and is an adjunct professor at the Community College of Baltimore County\, University of Baltimore\, and Coppin State University. His research is on the archaeology and ethnohistory of the Caribbean and South America\, with a focus on public archaeology\, developing inclusive and participatory methods. His recent efforts have been oriented toward integrating three-dimensional photogrammetric mapping techniques with more traditional archaeological methods. \nREGISTER HERE
