These narratives often misrepresent the community, glossing over its rich history, unshakable resilience, and the systemic injustices it continues to confront.

The 2015 Freddie Gray Uprising may have stunned the nation, but for Sandtown residents, it was not a beginning. It was another painful reminder of the ongoing harm inflicted by institutions like the Western District Police Station—an emblem of decades of abuse targeting Black Baltimoreans.…

Dedicated to Jerry Cross (SANDTOWN – April 18, 2025) – At some point, I knew I had to write about Freddie Gray—especially now, a full decade since his death. So many memories flood my mind: the burning car a block away on North Carrollton Avenue, the TV news hyping up “rioters” marching down Historic Pennsylvania Avenue, the mother who snatched her son out of the chaos on national TV. From Gilmor Homes to Mondawmin to Penn-North, West Baltimore was rising up—voicing decades of pain, frustration, and disregard for the city’s Black majority. The drama also went to East Monument Street.…
