You are invited to join us in Celebrating Johns Hopkins’ 222nd Birthday at Clifton Mansion
Thursday, May 11, 3 – 5 p.m.
Johns Hopkins — Antebellum Integrationist
Like other members of the Society of Friends, Johns Hopkins was an abolitionist. He founded institutions offering access, on an equal basis, to whites and African Americans. Hopkins’ views were almost certainly held by only a small minority among white Baltimoreans of his time, but the distinctive racial climate of the city may have provided an environment in which others were willing to tolerate his advanced opinions. Presentation by Dr. Matthew A. Crenson, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Johns Hopkins University.
Birthday Celebration and Mansion Tours will follow the presentation.
Please RSVP by May 8 to cliftonmansion@civicworks.
