Homewood’s new exhibition explores the history of three Black settlements in North Baltimore: Bare Hills, Cross Keys, and Hoes Heights. Drawing on historic maps, photographs, and oral histories of community members, the installation reflects upon the founders of these settlements and their descendants who faced and withstood the racial forces at play in the nation.
