THE HISTORY
As heirs to a revolutionary legacy that transformed the landscape across Baltimore and the United States, the Waldorf School of Baltimore’s annual Civil Rights Celebration aspires to continue the community’s engagement of the civil rights movement and its evolution. Esteemed authors, politicians, musicians, community activists, and educators, such as Fagan Harris, Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, and Kurt Schmoke, have spoken about various historical elements of the civil rights movement in relationship to the current progression of African-Americans.

The first event was initiated as a small brunch in 1998 and has grown in scope and size to host the community in a free and enriching dialogue to commemorate the work of civil rights leaders.
