In the spring of 2007, WTMD radio host Sam Sessa had an outlandish idea: take two Baltimore musicians who had never heard of each other, pair them up and force them to write four original songs in six weeks. The musicians he chose, Caleb Stine and Saleem Heggins, couldn't have come from more different backgrounds. Stine was an Americana singer/songwriter; Heggins an MC who liked vintage hip-hop. They didn't know each another before this little experiment called the Baltimore Music Project.
Carl Phillips reads from his poetry and discusses it with Lia Purpura.
You are invited to join the Enoch Pratt Free Library as we celebrate African American Literature through our African American Read-In virtual event.

This initiative has reached more than 6 million participants around the world.
For the first time in conversation, Sunny Hostin and Joy Reid will talk about their careers and being groundbreaking Black women in media.
