A Red Brick ‘Spite Wall’ was Built Along Morgan State’s Campus in 1942, This Week it Came Down
Morgan State University students heading to history and political science classes Tuesday morning passed a bulldozer toppling a brick wall behind Jenkins Hall and its classrooms. The wall, built in 1942 by one of the city’s largest real-estate brokers to separate the school’s Black students from nearby white neighborhoods, was knocked down by the afternoon.
