Robb Bailey – Integration of Maryland State Parks – April 2025
Speaker Robert F. Bailey (Robb), Maryland Park Service Historian, focuses on the history of segregation in Maryland State Parks, with an emphasis on efforts by Civil Rights activists lawyers to desegregate Sandy Point State Park. In Mr. Bailey’s words, “Maryland was one of the last states to create purposely built segregated facilities in its state parks and ended up providing the legal basis for ending the practice nationwide.”
