  1. 'Great Day': New life for old music of black churches

    As afternoon light tried to filter through the thick, stained-glass windows of Sharp Street United Methodist Church last weekend, Marco K. Merrick pounded out the bass line of a spiritual on a raw-sounding piano, singing along in a raspy voice: "Great day, the righteous marching. Great day, God's going to build up Zion's walls."

  9. Ben Carson and the price of free speech

    There is much we don't know about Dr. Ben Carson's decision to withdraw as a commencement speaker for the Johns Hopkins schools of medicine and education. His recent comments in opposition to gay marriage, in which he compared homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality, prompted a petition from some Hopkins students for him to be removed as a speaker. The dean of the Hopkins med school wrote a letter condemning the remarks, and Dr. Carson apologized. What happened between that series of events and his decision to step down &mdash; whether he faced additional pressure, by whom and how &mdash; will likely remain a mystery.

  10. The sage of Mt. Royal Avenue

    To understand what Fred Lazarus accomplished during his 35 years as president of the <a href="http://findlocal.baltimoresun.com/mount-vernon/home/university/maryland-institute-college-of-art-baltimore-school-educational-facility">Maryland Institute College of Art</a>, one need only look at the gleaming concrete-and-glass structure housing the school's Brown Center for new media. The rakishly angled building rising above the school's Mount Royal Avenue campus symbolizes the future of both art and higher education in America as surely as the stately neoclassical building across the street from it reflects its past. Mr. Lazarus, who announced this week that he will step down as president in 2014, had the genius to see that future and the skill to build it in Baltimore.
