For over 300 years,
African Americans have raised families and

growth and development of Prince George's
County, Maryland and its history. They
have established neighborhoods and built
physical structures, many of which survive in
the midst of the County's ever changing
landscape. This Guide invites you to take
a visual journey to those African American
historic sites and buildings that offer guided
or self-guided tours. Discover the
richness and diversity that Prince George's
County has to offer! The sites range from
a benevolent hall to churches, from an airfield
to a ball field and from historic mansions to a
log cabin. They include St Mark's
Methodist Episcopal Church in
Laurel, Dorsey Chapel in Glenn Dale,
Blacksox Park in Bowie, Columbia Air
Center in Upper Marlboro, the Mount Calvert
Historical and Archaeological Park in Upper
Marlboro - there are more. They

Patrick Healy was one of five children
born to Michael Healy, a transplanted white
Irishman, and Mary Eliza Healy, a former
slave. By Georgia law, their children
could have been sold as slaves - an action once
suggested to the Healys by a group of white
planters, who were subsequently run off the
Healy property by dogs on Michael's
command. He and Mary Eliza dedicated
themselves to providing an education and
opportunity for their children, and their
efforts were well rewarded.
Patrick Healy became the first black in
the United States to earn a doctoral
degree. He was the twenty-ninth President
of prestigious Georgetown University (1873 -
1882). Patrick Healy's influence on
Georgetown was so far-reaching that he is often
referred to as the school's "second founder,"
following Archbishop John Carroll. Healy helped
transform the small nineteenth century college
into a major university for the twentieth
century. He modernized the curriculum by
requiring courses in the sciences, particularly
chemistry and physics. He expanded and upgraded
the schools of law and medicine. He also
broke the color barrier in Catholic education
by becoming one of the most world renowned
black Jesuit priests of his time. As a
tribute to his outstanding leadership, the
Healy Building was erected. It served as
a center for administration, a classroom, and a
dormitory.
Much has been written and much has been
said about the right of
self-determination. Yet, in the quiet
corridors of public education institutions,
most administrators and supervisors have become
passive participants in those issues that most
positively and/or negatively impact their
livelihood.
Swirling around you are the national,
state, & local tides of
"accountability" for which you have had
little or no input.
Nevertheless,.......

ASASP is a labor union
-- we purpose to give our
members a voice in decisions that affect their
jobs. Among other
items, we negotiate for wages, health benefits
and better working conditions. Unionized
workers get more pay and better benefits than
employees who do
comparable work but do not
belong to a union.
