Historic Maryland home that hosted Civil Rights activists Freedom Riders on the brink of foreclosure

A historic home in Aberdeen, Maryland, that once served as a refuge for Civil Rights activists, including Freedom Riders, is facing foreclosure. The house, which has been a part of the Grant family for generations, is now owned by 90-year-old Janice Grant, who has devoted decades of her life to fighting for others in the Civil Rights Movement. The property is a significant piece of Maryland’s history and is now in danger of being lost forever.

The home was a meeting place for Civil Rights activists in the 1960s, including Freedom Riders fighting for racial justice and equality. It was a refuge for those fighting for their rights and a safe haven from the violence and discrimination they faced.

The Grant family and Preservation Maryland are working together to prevent foreclosure and ensure that the historic home can continue to symbolize hope and progress for future generations.
