CSU sits within blocks of a sprawling black ghetto

The city's young urban university is at a crucial stage in its development. If it collapses under the onslaught of the Forbes machine, it may never recover.


Despite its egalitarian appeal and the fact that it has alumni at City Hall, CSU owes its curren crisis to that same body of politic - and one small detail about the school's demographics. Even though CSU sits within blocks of a sprawling black ghetto in a city that is almost half black, it remains a mostly white school.

Home now after being evacuated from the Baltimore City building due to a 5-alarm fire on The Block. Glad everyone made it out safely.
