A discussion of systematic racism/white supremacy in the human and social service sector in Baltimore City. “When Baltimore Awakes: An analysis of the human and social service sector in Baltimore City” is an essay that contains our most comprehensive critique of the human/social service sector in Baltimore and how it perpetuates the system of white supremacy. Our hope is to provoke conversation that can stretch the human/social service sector beyond the white supremacist institutional arrangement that defines it.
