[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many Black voters were kept from the polls by police back in the 70’s and 80’s I would imagine. [/quote] In PG County in 1978? Not likely. [b]Maryland didn't have full blown Jim Crow.[/b] This isn't Virginia or Alabama. [/quote] Tell me you know nothing about the Prince George’s County Police without telling me you know nothing about them. [/quote] Jim Crow was the law of the land in Southern Maryland especially. Back then, I’d say that included Prince George’s County. Jim Crow affected other parts of the state as well, Baltimore in particular, through the 1960s. John Waters’ movies touch on that theme. And who could forget the Cambridge, Maryland riots of 1963, during a period when the rights of local African Americans were further curtailed. [/quote]
