What is By the Marble: Podcasting Baltimore's Queer History?
Often the first step in justifying violence against a group is to deny, distort, or erase their history. By the Marble aims to preserve the histories of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer people, and reveal the ways queer life has shaped Baltimore. Produced in collaboration with Baltimore Heritage, a non-profit organization, and UMBC's Summer 2024 Interdisciplinary CoLab program.
