Visited the Maryland Room at the Enoch Pratt Library a few times and found some very interesting information on Baltimore Arabbers. I encourage everyone to go there to find some very good information to use for their project.
The photo on the right is of Roland L. Freeman, a photographer born and raised in Baltimore. He played a major role in documenting the history of Baltimore Arabbers.
The photo on the left is of his great-grandfather, Peter Richard Janey. Born in 1868 of ex-slaves. He migrated from Calvert County, MD to Baltimore in 1895. He owned one of the first horse stables in Baltimore on Gilmore street.
