Decades-old segregation wall torn down near Morgan State University.

Morgan State University in Baltimore has demolished a red brick wall that was built more than 80 years ago as a "spite wall" to keep Black students from venturing into a once predominantly white neighborhood. The wall was erected by white Baltimore residents in the late 1930s in response to the growing number of Black people attending Morgan State, a historically Black institution. The barrier remained for decades, even as Morgan State students fought for civil rights in the 1960s. The university plans to keep a small part of the wall in place as a historical marker where students can learn about its dark history.
