A segregation wall was taken down 80 years after its construction in Northeast Baltimore. Also referred to as a “spite wall,” it was built in the 1940s as an effort to keep Black students out of a predominantly white neighborhood. A wall known as “Spite Wall” finally came crumbling down this morning on Hillen Rd. near Morgan State Univ. The wall, constructed in the segregated 1930’s, was used as a barrier to show where African-Americans could live. Morgan President Dr. Wilson led the ceremony. @WMAR2News pic.twitter.com/ZDI87MtQot — Paul Jaffey (@PaulFromWMAR) April 11, 2023
