History Lecture - "19th Century Baltimore: A City of Immigrants" by Wayne Schaumburg
Join Baltimore historian Wayne R. Schaumburg for an inside look at the city's role as a major immigration port during the 19th century. Known as "Ellis Island South" by 1900, Baltimore was second only to New York in immigration during 1884, 1891, and 1892. This illustrated program will explore why immigrants came, how they got to Baltimore, and once they arrived, how they assimilated to life in a major urban center. Refreshments will be served.

Frostburg State University Appalachian Festival Film Festival
As part of the Appalachian Festival Film Festival, FSU presents two films that explore environmental issues at the regional level.
New Day Films describes "Bonecrusher" as “a stark journey to the coal fields of Dante, Va., where a tight-knit community of miners face life with a toughness and camaraderie as enduring as the earth itself."
"Split Estate" maps a tragedy in the making, as citizens in the path of a new drilling boom in the West struggle against the erosion of civil liberties, their communities and their health.

The Almighty Oyster
This presentation traces the evolution of the oyster industry in Maryland from the colonial period to the mid-twentieth century. John Wennersten details the rise of the oyster from a poor people's food to a status delicacy. As the desirability of oysters rose, deadly violence broke out among watermen over access to the oyster beds in the Chesapeake Bay, Tangier Sound, and the tributary rivers, leading to the notorious "Oyster Wars." Tragically, its national and international popularity led to over-harvesting and the demise of what had once been called the Almighty Oyster.

A Community Known as Ridgley - From Emancipation to Today
This program is part of an Open House event. Our goal is to make people more aware of the history of this small rural community founded by emancipated people beginning in 1871. Their influence can still be felt today. However, as the area becomes more urbanized the view of a rural community gets lost amongst the fast food stores and shopping strips. The Open House will give an opportunity to talk with and listen to people who are scholars in genealogy and the Rosenwald School movement. A tour of the Ridgley community will be offered.

Liberty and Security in America
Every war has led to restrictions on U.S. liberty. President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War; President Wilson prosecuted critics of his administration during World War I; President Roosevelt interned Japanese-Americans during World War II. Melvin Goodman examines current security policies, including the Patriot Act enacted in the wake of 9/11 and the Iraq War in the context of the historical tension between liberty and security during wartime.
