Located just south of Washington, D.C., Calvert Countyas African American community can be traced back to the countyas beginning in the 17th century. From a time when Calvert Countyas black population grew to approximately 60 percent of the populace, to its present-day residents representing the national average of 12 percent, Calvertas African Americans have attempted to hold on to many of their rich cultural traditions. Although their livelihoods as farmers and watermen have mostly ceased to exist these days, they continue to maintain strong ties to the land and an unwavering commitment to family values and community. The beautiful photographs and documents in this volume give a glimpse into the past of these proud people who continue to flourish while holding onto their distinctive identity.
