Race in Baltimore: A Tale of Two Cities
Racial policies have shaped the history of 20th century America, and Baltimore is
a case study of that history. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion of 20th
century racial history in Baltimore, featuring two prominent experts and
authors. Our panelist will discuss two major aspects of Baltimore’s complex
racial history: redlining and school desegregation. After addressing these major
forces that brought us to the present, we look forward to asking, “WHERE DO
WE GO FROM HERE?”

2pm - Zoom Webinar
As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, join us for a riveting discussion and Q&A on the woman’s suffrage movement from one of Baltimore’s most trusted names in news. 2020 was set to be the ‘year of the woman’ as we mark the 100th anniversary of women winning the right to vote on August 26th. It is important to take time to honor the courage, sacrifice, and monumental achievement of the thousands of women, and men, who fought for over 70 years to give women an equal voice in our democracy. Much has changed since the passage of the 19th Amendment: much has been achieved. In 2018, a record 102 women were elected to the US House of Representatives, alongside 25 women in the US Senate. Despite that and successes in other fields, there is still much to be done to achieve equity. Come hear Baltimore’s Emmy award-winning news journalist discuss the history of the struggle for women’s equality and how that struggle continues.
Denise Koch is one of Baltimore’s most credible and respected anchors and broadcast journalists for more than two decades at local TV station WJZ-13. The Emmy Award-winning journalist is also a founding member of the Women’s Leadership Institute of Baltimore at Notre Dame of Maryland University, dedicated to working for gender equity. She attended UCLA where she earned the prestigious Natalie Wood Award, graduated from California Institute of the Arts, and then received her master’s from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She has taught at UMBC, the University of Michigan, and the University of Wisconsin.
