During WWII the federal government built segregated housing complexes for war industry workers in Baltimore. Join us today in East Baltimore to learn the history of one such place, O’Donnell Heights, and to see some of the 1940’s housing that is still there. Thanks for watching and see you again soon!

This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, YouTube channel, and website.  For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreheritage.org/support
