In 1955, five years before the famous sit-ins in Greensboro, NC, Morgan State University students led the nation's first successful lunch-counter protest at Read’s Drugstore. Today, Baltimore continues to thrive as a dynamic, creative community. Immerse yourself in the arts at the Baltimore Museum of Art, the American Visionary Art Museum or the Reginald F. Lewis Museum. Spend a day of discovery at the National Aquarium or Maryland Science Center, or, explore the city’s vibrant neighborhoods and cultural landmarks. There's always something to do, see, and learn in Baltimore! More events and activities.
