Presenting the fourth of five encore episodes about the history, culture, and folklore of Maryland and its largest city: Legends of Baltimore: Little Willie Adams and Philip Berrigan, two very different men who left their marks on Baltimore in very different ways.

Baltimore and Maryland History Week: Baltimore legends Little Willie Adams and Philip Berrigan

3:50: Little Willie Adams was truly the stuff of legend — a heroic figure among African-Americans of Baltimore in the 20th Century, a one-time numbers-runner-turned-venture capitalist, philanthropist and political power broker. Adams died five years ago this month. Mark Cheshire has written a biography of him: "They Call Me Little Willie."23:15: Paula Gallagher has another book to recommend, this one a collection of non-fiction essays by the best-selling author Neil Gaiman.26:44: The other Baltimore legend we’ll be hearing about today is Philip Berrigan, the one-time Catholic priest who, with his brother Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit priest, were prominent protesters of the Vietnam War. They were both part of the Catonsville Nine, jailed for their destruction of files from the draft board in Catonsville in May 1968. Later Phil Berrigan, with his wife Elisabeth McAlister, established the Jonah House peace community in Baltimore; he lived here the rest of his life. He died at the age of 79 in 2002. Dan Berrigan died at the age of 94 in April. Phil and Dan Berrigan wrote letters to each other for years, and those letters have now been edited and published as a book. One of the editors, Dan Cossachi, is our guest today.View full show notes with links at http://bsun.md/28IE333.
