We are sad to learn about the passing of former civil rights attorney C. Christopher Brown on December 17. His civil rights litigation ended the system of political apartheid on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Brown's book published by MCHC Press, "The Road to Jim Crow: The African American Struggle on Maryland's Eastern Shore, 1860-1915," is a must-read and is available by clicking the Museum Store link in our bio. #MarylandHistory #MDHistory #CivilRights #JimCrow
