#PressPlay: An 80”-year-old “spite” wall at Morgan State University, which was intended to keep Black students from venturing into a once predominantly white Baltimore neighborhood, has been torn down.

University President #DavidWilson, school officials, and residents watched as an excavator destroyed the wall on Tuesday. “We had no choice but to tear it down,” Wilson said in an interview. “We couldn’t have this symbol of hate staring down every single day. This was an easy decision for us. It was time for us to tear down that hate.”

The removal of the wall is part of a major reconstruction and expansion at the university called “Morgan Momentum.” Although a majority of the wall has been removed, officials plan to keep a small part of the wall in place as a historical marker where students can learn about its dark history.
