This week marks the 35th anniversary of the March on Washington, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. But in Baltimore, Aug. 28, 1963, is noted for another milestone: the desegregation of Gwynn Oak Amusement Park in Woodlawn.
The wooden roller coaster and other park amusements are long gone. But the 35-year-old arrest records of those who protested desegregation there amazingly remain on file. Printed here, for the first time, are the names of the Baltimoreans listed as arrested in the protests on July 4 and 7, 1963:
