Baltimore Immigration Memorial
Project History The Baltimore Immigration Memorial was founded in 1992 by local businessman, Ronald Zimmerman, Sr., to address the need to explore, document and preserve this rich heritage, and to make it available to the public through a range of community and educational initiatives. Originally called, "The Baltimore Immigration Project," the foundation undertook a range of programs including:
In 2005, the project was reincorporated as "The Baltimore Immigration Memorial" with a full Board of Directors and Officers in order to better support the scope of its efforts and serve the needs of the local community. Today, among the foundation's most prominent efforts is the creation of a Liberty Garden and Immigration Memorial on the site of Baltimore's historic immigration piers at Locust Point. Thanks to a generous donation from the Struever Bros., Eccles and Rouse Corporation, the foundation broke ground for the memorial in March 2006. |
