Have you ever wished that a band of roving podcasters would visit your community to collect stories of uplift, history, and hope, then broadcast those stories for you and your neighbors in a space right near your block? For months, the Rise of Charm City team did just that in Baltimore’s storied neighborhood of Waverly, one of the city’s hubs of 1960s and ‘70s activism and counterculture. Episode 19, “Rise + Shine Waverly,” was produced in partnership with the local business development initiative, Waverly Main Street, for Neighborhood Lights, an annual community artist-in-residence program produced by Light City, a festival of light, music, and innovation held in downtown Baltimore.

In the middle of an August night, the City of Baltimore removed four Confederate monuments from parks and public squares. A few people bore witness, and almost everyone in town had an opinion. In this bonus mini-episode, we talk to a few of them, not just about the statues but also about the quiet removal of the city's African American landmarks and resources.
