Inheritance Baltimore and the Struggle for Just Futures: Cultural Work as Reparations

Inheritance Baltimore: Humanities and Arts Education for Black Liberation (IB) is a grant-funded program at Johns Hopkins University, support by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation through its Just Futures grant initiative. IB is a joint programming and research effort to preserve Black archival resources, curate Black arts and public heritage, and expand local infrastructure for freedom education. IB also provides support for postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, undergraduates, and faculty committed to documenting the history of institutional racism in the formation of academic disciplines at and outward from Johns Hopkins University. The Chloe Center is one of the main partners that has supported IB since 2021.
