Thank you for your scholarship. I guess I had gained a rather dim view of Mr. Hopkins after learning about his enslavement of people, the discriminatory past of Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Henrietta Lacks theft, and the Hopkins faculty and staff I have represented in discrimination cases as a lawyer, but your scholarship shows there was more to Mr. Hopkins than all of that. God bless those rabbit holes!
For another perspective on Mr. Johns Hopkins and slavery, see “A Maryland Mystery: Johns Hopkins, Slavery, and the Census of 1850,” in The Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. 119, no. 1 & 2, 67-93.
