Talk Together: The Baltimore American Indian Center
The BAIC has stood the test of time in Upper Fells Point. Originally founded in 1968 as the American Indian Study Center, it once primarily served as a resettlement resource for Indians who had migrated to the city seeking employment. The BAIC now functions as a cultural magnet that draws this dispersed community back in. Offering weekly culture classes, annual pow wows, a full-fledged community museum, a multipurpose meeting space and more, the BAIC continuously sustains the living cultural traditions of American Indians and Alaskan Natives of the Baltimore region.
This video was produced for the 2017 Maryland Traditions Heritage awards at which the Baltimore American Indian Center (BAIC) received the award in the category of place.
Inside One of the Oldest Fraternal Organization
To improve and elevate the character of man.
In 17th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and of pursuing projects for the benefit of all mankind. Those who belonged to such an organization were called Odd Fellows. Odd Fellows are also known as The Three Link Fraternity which stands for Friendship, Love and Truth.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was brought in the North American Continent in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 26, 1819 when Thomas Wildey and four members of the fraternity from England instituted Washington Lodge No. 1. This lodge received its charter from Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows in England.
Odd Fellowship became the 1st national fraternity to include both men and women when it adopted the beautiful Rebekah Degree on September 20, 1851. This degree is based on the teachings found in the Holy Bible, and was written by the Honorable Schuyler Colfax who was Vice President of the United States during the period 1868-1873. Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were also the first fraternal organization to establish homes for our senior members and for orphaned children.
It continues to exist up until today as a worldwide fraternity for men and women with over 10,000 lodges (chapters) in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
Some examples of notable people who were members include George IV (King of U.K. in 1820-1830), Franklin Roosevelt (32nd U.S. President), Ulysses Grant (18th U.S. President), William McKinley (25th U.S. President), Schuyler Colfax (U.S. Vice President from 1889-1873), Charlie Chaplin (Iconic Actor and Comedian), Lucy Hobbs Taylor (first female Dentist in the U.S.), etc.
For more than 100 years, I.O.O.F lodges throughout the world are Involved in Volunteer, Philanthropic and Charitable Activities on a local, national and international level.

Inside the Odd Fellows Fraternity
Odd Fellows Fraternity came into being in England sometime in the year 1700's or earlier. It is considered one of the oldest and largest fraternity in the world. At the time of industrialization in England, 'Fellows' from various 'Odd' trades gathered together and formed a fraternity to protect and care for their members and communities at a time when there was no welfare state, trade unions and National Health Insurance. They would work together to help each other and the unfortunate families back on their feet, whether it was rebuilding a barn that had burned, or putting in a new crop after a devastating season. Such helpers came to be known as odd fellows, so named by the general population who thought they were an odd bunch of fellows who would behave in such a selfless and seemingly impractical fashion. This group then adopted the name.
By year 1700's, there were a number of Odd Fellows organization in England. In 1810, various Odd Fellows lodges of the London Union Order in Manchester organized an Independent Order of Oddfellows with the title Manchester Unity. With their improved system they were able to persuade other Odd Fellow Lodges to join their unity. They also chartered the Independent Order of Odd Fellows in America years after founded in Baltimore, Maryland at the Seven Stars Tavern on April 26, 1819, by Thomas Wildey and some associates who were members of the fraternity in England.
On September 20, 1851, I.O.O.F became the first fraternity to accept both men and women when it formed the Daughters of Rebekah. Brother Schuyler Colfax, (Vice President of the US from 1869-1873), was the force behind the movement.
During the 'Golden Age of fraternalism', the Odd Fellows was the largest fraternal and service organization in the world. The world Almanac showed that it had over 3.4 Million active members in 1915. Moreover, Odd Fellowship, unlike many other organizations, makes no special effort to attract name members. Ours is a warm, personal type of affiliation that doesn't rely on rubbing elbows with the famous to give us satisfaction. Although non-political and non-sectarian, it also claimed many notable members which included six U.S. Presidents such as Franklin Roosevelt and Warren Harding, as well as many Senators, Governors and community leaders. Lucy Hobbs Taylor, the first female American Dentist, was also identified as member.
It continues to exist up until today with about 10, 000 lodges in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Poland, Philippines, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America, Uruguay, and Venezuela. Internationally, it is involved in various charitable causes such as their Educational Foundation which gives scholarships annually, Arthritis Foundation, Visual Eye Research Foundation at Wilmer Eye Institute, Living Legacy program which planted more than 8 Million trees already, the United Nations Pilgrimage of the Youth which sponsors High School students on a one-week trip to the United Nations, the S.O.S. Children's Village which houses orphans and aids victims in Cambodia, etc. It has been the policy of this fraternity since its institution to do things without seeking publicity, credit, or praise. As a result of this policy, the general public is not aware of the many humanitarian accomplishments of Odd Fellowship.

Star Spangled Banner Historical Trail
James Monroe (1758–1831) was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He was the last veteran of the American Revolution to serve as president of the United States. At age 18, he had been wounded in the Battle of Trenton, while fighting alongside General George Washington.Monroe served as US minister to Great Britain during Thomas Jefferson’s presidency. President James Madison appointed Monroe secretary of state in the time leading up to the War of 1812.Monroe liked to be part of the action. He assumed an unofficial role as a military scout. From a position at Aquasco Mills, Monroe spotted the British as they landed an invasion force in August 1814 at the small town of Benedict, Maryland. On August 22, 1814, Monroe sent word to President Madison, warning “you had better move the documents,” referring to official government documents housed in the national capital. He was on the battlefield along with President Madison at Bladensburg.Throughout the War of 1812, Monroe acted boldly and sometimes without orders. Madison was impressed by his performance and appointed him secretary of war. This made Monroe the only person to hold the positions of secretary of war and secretary of state simultaneously.After the war, Monroe was elected the fifth president of the United States, serving 1817 to 1825.

Celebrating the East Building Twentieth-Century Art Series, Part 9: Abstract Expressionism
David Gariff, senior lecturer, National Gallery of Art. From the mid-1940s through the 1950s painters in New York imbued their work with a heady new confidence, scale, and energy. Before and during World War II European émigrés poured into New York, including artists Max Ernst, Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, and the writer and surrealist leader André Breton. Their influence led to the exploration of biomorphic forms, archaic themes, and accidental processes designed to unleash the unconscious, like dripping and scraping. It is in the large canvases of the 1950s, by Jackson Pollock and others, that what one critic called “the triumph of American painting” can really be felt. These paintings increased ambition and introduced new techniques: Pollock’s rhythmic pours and drips, Clyfford Still’s dry palette-knifing, Newman’s masking-taped “zips,” Franz Kline’s chiseled gestures, and Joan Mitchell’s flurries of strokes. This generation of artists revealed new horizons in the practice of painting and the experience of viewing. As part of the series Celebrating the East Building: 20th-Century Art, senior lecturer David Gariff explores the triumph of American painting in postwar America. This lecture was presented on August 14, 2018, at the National Gallery of Art.

2017 Winter Commencement | UMD
Public Lecture: HIV/AIDS Research – Its History and Future
October 2016
Public-facing lecture from CSHL's three-day HIV/AIDS research meeting.
Never before have the pioneers of the science of retroviruses, the discoverers of human retroviruses, the developers of HIV/AIDS therapeutics, and key figures in important research findings come together to discuss the history and future of the field. Together, this interdisciplinary group will review the key scientific, epidemiological, and clinical discoveries that created this field, delve into the present science of HIV/AIDS, and discuss and debate the paths to the future control of this global pandemic, which, tragically, has persisted for more than 35 years.
