No Mean City
March 11, 2026
Baltimore in 1966 was the setting for the play “No Mean City” which we attended at the Baltimore Museum of Art. We were invited by the well-known journalist and playwright Dan Rodricks. The play captured a moment in time weaving the complexity of racial discrimination and race relations around the first successful pennant race by the Orioles.
Familiar local legends like Juanita Jackson Mitchell, Mayor McKeldin and Frank and Brooks Robinson were major characters in this important and informative look at our history.
We are very thankful to Dan Rodricks for including us and look forward to his visit for aa Conversation to discuss the play.
