I am in love with Baltimore, but I am not happy with her. Her divisions are too sharp, her walls too high. Her blocks are too segregated and there is too little cross-over. Her people are too unaware, and too comfortable. She is letting big business and the elite have their way with her. She doesn’t know how beautiful she really is. No one tells her. She is hiding her true face beneath a veil that is too easy to lift for us to have not done so yet. All we have to do is walk far on her streets, wander deep into her clusters of buildings and people. Her veil, her high walls, her mystery and ugly mask are all gone as soon as you believe they are, and act like they are.

We are so excited to announce our first ANCB Block Party this Monday, April 14.  Come enjoy food, entertainment, and activities from 3-6 pm and contribute to the project by adding your own creation of community to the hundreds of houses already hanging on the clothesline installation.  Hosted by E the Poet-Emcee and featuring Son of N.U.N., Chuck the Madd-Ox,  LOVE the Poet, Joey, Wordslave, and the Mt. Royal Elementary Choir.  The installation will be up all day, infront of MICA’s Meyerhoff House (140 W. Lafayette Ave. Baltimore, MD, 21217) We look forward to seeing you there!
