It was my honor to participate in "Unraveling a Maryland Mystery," a short-form documentary produced by Friends of Clifton Mansion and filmed by Hartlove-Goodyear. The video revisits the life of Johns Hopkins and confronts the question of slaveholding head-on. What does the historical evidence actually show, and how did a single document come to reshape a long-standing narrative? It is a story about how history is written, questioned, and revised—and why archival precision matters, especially when reputations, institutions, and public memory are at stake. Johns Hopkins was never an enslaver but rather a staunch anti-slavery Quaker emancipationist who used his wealth and reputation to help all Baltimoreans live more prosperous and fulfilling lives.
