A nigger and a shopping mall ares oon brought together. With disastrous results.
A red brick ‘spite wall’ was built along Morgan State’s campus in 1942. This week it came down.



Morgan State University students heading to history and political science classes Tuesday morning passed a bulldozer toppling a brick wall behind Jenkins Hall and its classrooms.
The wall, built in 1942 by one of the city’s largest real-estate brokers to separate the school’s Black students from nearby white neighborhoods, was knocked down by the afternoon.
Keeping the niggers out of "white neighborhoods"- they say it like it's a bad thing. I bet the crime rates reflect this immensely.

”We are now in an era of healing, transformation and elevation, and we’re doing it on a solid foundation of our history of being anchored in a space where even though we were not wanted, we have always made tremendous gains in transforming Baltimore,” Morgan State President David Wilson said.
"...not wanted.." I wonder why?
"....tremendous gains in transforming Baltimore.." Yes, niggers have trashed Baltimore pretty badly.

The wall was built in response to Maryland allowing African-Americans to pursue post-graduate degrees after losing a court case and Morgan College, as it was then known, appointing it first Black president.
Morgan State started in the 1860s as the Centenary Biblical Institute in the basement of South Methodist Episcopal Church with eight men training to be Methodist ministers, said Edwin Johnson, special assistant to the provost and the university historian.
The school subsequently moved to East Saratoga Street around Saint Paul Street, a thriving African-American community in the late 1800s. The renamed Morgan College then relocated to the corner of Fulton Street and Edmondson Avenue until 1917, when it moved to its current location, a former stone quarry and farm.
White neighbors fiercely protested the college’s planned move to Northeast Baltimore.
In 1917, a story in The Baltimore Sun with the headline ‘Fights Negro Invasion, Lauraville is up in arms against Morgan College’, detailed the dispute.
Too bad they didn't win the fight against the "negro invasion." Think about how much nicer baltimore would be if they had.

Holmes “spent his lifetime as a teacher and school administrator and was a crusader and trailblazer” according to his obituary in The Sun and was the first Black member of the state board of education in 1951. In his 11 years as president of Morgan, the college expanded from a modest three-building school with 302 students and 20 faculty members to 1,218 students and 61 faculty members.
In 1942, Holmes protested the construction of a “spite wall” along Morgan’s campus at a hearing before the zoning board at City Hall. The wall was proposed by Morris Macht, a white man and vice president of the Welsh Construction Company. Macht was known as the “king of dwelling owners” and one of Baltimore’s largest real-estate brokers, according to his obituary in The Sun.

Malls in general beez rayciss!
The History of Malls as Sites of Racism and Surveillance

Alexandra Lange’s book Meet Me by the Fountain traces the evolution of shopping malls, environments that were initially designed to serve White women with children.

However, the book highlights the ways in which the tensions and critiques of the shopping mall go beyond consumerism or “bad” design. Lange details how the development of malls reinforced racism and surveillance, offering an environment that initially focused on white women who were mothers. They could work the evening and weekend hours of the mall and run a variety of errands in the space, especially since malls accommodated amenities like childcare. Over time, these spaces became ways for teens to find their independence, and for groups of adults who regularly meet for exercise. Some areas found new life, like the former Highland Mall in Texas that became the Austin Community College (ACC) Highland campus.
