  10. A daughter shares her Dad's pioneering tale

    <em>Editor's note: Throughout its history, Harford County has been conflicted when it comes to its citizens' attitudes about racial equality and the relationship between its white and black communities. Sharply divided over the issue of slavery before, during and after the Civil War, divisions remain in 2012. While the county was home to Maryland's first school for freed slaves, it was also one of the last in the state to desegregate its public schools, waiting until the mid-1960s, a full decade after the Supreme Court outlawed the practice. Though the county had a substantial number of free black residents even before slavery was ended, almost 50 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, Harford has elected exactly one African American to a countywide office, has never sent an African American to the state legislature, has had just one African American judge and only one African American has served in the top three administrative positions of the school system - although today a record number of African Americans - three - are serving on the Harford County Board of Education. This is not to say, however, that there have been many people, black and white, vocally and quietly, who have gradually helped break down the barrier of racial prejudice. The following is a story of one of our black community's pioneers, composed by someone who knows him well. As Black History Month comes to a close, we think our readers will find this piece both enlightening and inspirational.</em>
