The University of Baltimore's initiative "Baltimore '68 Riots and Rebirth" seeks to explore the causes and effects of the social unrest after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination and the efforts at civic healing that followed and continue today. In that spirit, Passager is pleased to offer a special issue dedicated to memories of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the civil rights movement, and the Baltimore '68 riots. This issue, available at the conference and online, also features interviews from UB's initiative. Thanks to all who joined us and shared their stories!
