Unveiling Baltimore's Rich Heritage: Exploring Historic Communities with Molly Ricks from Baltimore Heritage, Inc.

About the guest

Molly Ricks joined the Baltimore Heritage team in September 2019. In the past she has interned with the National Park Service and worked as a research historian with the federal government. Molly received her undergraduate and graduate degrees in history from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her thesis (a comparison of the commemoration of the Black and white burial grounds at prominent Virginia plantations) and subsequent work have focused on public history, preservation, and uncovering untold stories.

Molly coordinates Baltimore Heritage’s walking tours, speakers, our annual Bmore Historic unconference, and the organization’s volunteers that help with these events. She also maintains connections with other community partners, like the Bruce Street Arabber Stable and the Laurel Cemetery Memorial Taskforce. She is in charge of Baltimore Heritage’s social media and outreach efforts. She also edits, researches, and produces the videos for Baltimore Heritage’s Five Minute Histories series (over 150 videos have been published).
