West Baltimore Mural Tour

Our guests will meet at a hidden gem called the Avenue Bakery. There we will begin our journey to discover the richness of West Baltimore through its history and murals. This area of town has such deep roots into the civil rights era, desegregation to today's street artists who pour their hardwork onto the empty walls here.

There are some powerful social justice murals made in response to the black lives matter movement, including portraits of trayvon martin and freddie gray. Baltimore is such a rich place for the work being done in equity and equality for race relations - the art displays this, as Baltimore has been a majority african american city for quite sometime. Many of the businesses and places we learn about in this area of time have been in existence for quite sometime with long multi-generational stories beginning with the bakery we are meeting at which is known for Poppay's rolls!
