What Happened in Baltimore and What Can We Do? A Neighborhoods’ Perspective
Author: BNIA-FI

Abstract: In late April 2015, the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody set in motion civil and racial unrest in Baltimore City at a level not seen since 1968. While the unrest is part of a national movement of post-Ferguson protests in the past year, the roots of the unrest in Baltimore can be clearly linked to a history of segregation and disinvestment that impacts certain neighborhoods such as Sandtown-Winchester where Freddie Gray lived. While geography need not be one’s destiny, a growing body of research shows that neighborhood context significantly impacts the ability of residents to participate fully in social, economic, and political life. The disparities that exist in the places we live are having a growing impact on the disparities in our life outcomes.
