Formerly Segregated Plaza Now Redeveloped With Help of HBCU
Northwood Plaza used to be a segregated shopping area located next to Morgan State University, a historically Black college. Starting in the early 1950s, hundreds of Morgan State students participated in sit-ins and other peaceful protests in the name of equal rights, culminating with the arrest of more than 415 students, most from Morgan State, during their protest to desegregate the plaza’s Northwood Theatre in 1963.
