BALTIMORE — Students from Morgan State University, local teachers, individuals who were out of school because of the closings and members of several fraternities methodically began cleaning the city after a violent night of rioting and looting.
In all, about 3,000 individuals— many joining the efforts on an impromptu basis— worked from dusk until dawn to help Baltimore reclaim its Charm City moniker and to let the world know what Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake meant when she said, “We are One Baltimore.”
“We thought it was most important to let the community know that people are out cleaning,” said Kaeshawn Stewart, a Baltimore resident and a member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority. “This is encouraging to the community and it’s giving the community hope because we’ve had many come by and say thank you.”
