“An Absence That Marks A Presence”: Mapping Baltimore's Historic Lumbee Community

She guides us through the walking tour she’s created, which includes the Baltimore American Indian Center and Heritage Museum and Rose's Bakery.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
