Chesley Mack, sometimes referred to as the unofficial mayor of Lakeland, operated Mack’s Market on Rhode Island Avenue. It was a general store with an ice cream counter and billiard parlor on the main floor, and rental apartments on the second floor. Mack also worked as a chef at the University of Maryland and served as Lakeland’s City Council representative from 1945 until 1957.

Title A name given to the resource “Ode to Charley: A Drinking Song” Subject The topic of the resource UMD & Systemic Racism Description An account of the resource As is evident from the many pictures in this case from the Reveille, the Maryland Agricultural College’s yearbook, and, once the institution became the University of Maryland, the Terrapin Yearbook, White students on campus engaged broadly and frequently in racist tropes and language in their activities deemed worthy of preservation in their annual publication. At times this casual racism and focus extended to individual African Americans well-known to students on campus, individuals for whom a measure of affection is evident alongside and with tone, language, and imagery that is dehumanizing. One scholar [Stewart – can you remind me of this scholar?] characterizes such language used by Whites towards Black individuals as “puppy speak,” a tendency simultaneously to both show affection and assume a position of superiority towards the subject of address. Mr. Charles “Charlie” Dory was a most frequent target of students’ attention. The campus kitchen frequently was referred to as “Charlie Dory’s Health Resort,” innocuous enough, but in these pages from two of the Reveille yearbooks (1913 and 1916), Mr. Dory and two other Lakelanders are subjected to dehumanizing racialization. “Ode to Charley: A Drinking Song” is “dedicated to the Big Chief, by one of his tormentors.” While written in jest, the torment had to have been real for Mr. Dory and others from Lakeland and other Black communities who worked on campus. Mr. Dory’s cooking exploits are regaled, but others in the kitchen are named – Tom, Sid, and Chesley Mack – and “others, hid, but all as black As our well-known Minstrel Clown.” A minstrel clown is exactly how a student cartoonist depicted Mr. Dory in the 1916 pages of Reveille. Mr. Dory is depicted as a blackface minstrel (Coon) character in livery carrying a tray of food and drink and with napkin draped over his left arm. In the register below this one in the cartoon, a “Sam” in blackface and polka-dot shirt and check-pocketed breeches and cap is shown furiously sweeping a cloud of dust, with a can and dead rat among the detritus. This Sam is Samuel Stewart, who worked at the Maryland Agricultural College at this time and lived in Lakeland. His father, also Samuel Stewart, and mother, Georgianna Stewart, founded Embry AME Church in 1903. That their son would be represented in this racist manner is particularly galling, especially for Lakelanders who to this day honor and revere the Stewarts for their role in building the community. We intentionally present the 1916 cartoon from Reveille with the vignettes of “Charlie Dory” and “Sam” greyed out because the visual racist tropes are powerful and triggering. We also want to honor the desire of Mr. Dory’s descendants to “not see [their} granddaddy” portrayed this way. That said, it is important that we all are aware of the depths and depravity of the racism endemic at Maryland Agricultural College and later the University of Maryland in which the generations of Dory family members and other Lakelanders worked. To strike a balance, we provide here a QR code to the relevant page of the 1916 Reveille yearbook.

Title A name given to the resource Frats Subject The topic of the resource UMD & Systemic Racism Description An account of the resource A figure in Ku Klux Klan regalia holding a torch on the page introducing the section on Greek Life at Maryland State College in 1920? Yes. The Ku Klux Klan was at the height of its power in the 1920s, and Maryland and its State College were by no means immune from and, quite obviously, embraced the systemic hatred and fear embodied in the use of Klan robes. One has to imagine that many members of the Maryland State College/University of Maryland community, including students and faculty, will have been among the estimated 25,000 marchers in Klan regalia down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC just a few years later on August 8, 1925. It is in this environment, this air, of racism-without-fear-or-shame that members of the Dory family, other Lakelanders, and African Americans from other Black communities near the campus daily worked.

Title A name given to the resource “Maryland atmosphere served up southern ‘fried’” from May Day page Subject The topic of the resource UMD & Systemic Racism Description An account of the resource May Day festivities were a prominent celebration each year at the Maryland State College and the University of Maryland. University Archives retain photographs of such celebrations including maypole dances, diaphanous costumes reminiscent of Roman antiquity, and the awarding of the “May Queen” title with a triumphal march from the Main Administration Building. Other activities, such as those shown here–“Southern ‘fried’”–reflect the disparaging realities that align with such celebrations in a school just south of the Mason-Dixon line. Black communities along the Route 1 corridor less than five miles from campus, including Lakeland, North Brentwood, and Muirkirk, celebrated May Day as a celebration of the coming of spring, rather than as a moment to reinforce racist biases at the core of contemporary society.

Title A name given to the resource Violetta Sharps Jones Subject The topic of the resource Lakeland Description An account of the resource "Lakeland was a very tight knit community. Not only did we all know each other, I now realize that we knew each other for generations, because the same family members that came originally between 1890 and 1900, descendants of those families were still living there, when I left Lakeland, and presently still reside there. So there were very strong, very strong ties. I think we did a very good job of supporting each other. I don't, I don't recall too many families doing without, you know, it was just a given that whatever you need it, somehow the community will pull together and provide it for you."
