Did you know Baltimore’s arabbers carry on a rich tradition that can be found in no other American city?Today’s video at the Bruce Street Arabber Stable is a special one. Our friend Dorothy Johns, owner of the stable, talks with us about her grandmother, Mildred Allen, the first African American female arabber in Baltimore. Please enjoy today’s video and we’ll see you next week!

This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Twice a week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and website.
