Following World War II, many middle-class whites left Baltimore for the surrounding suburbs. During the 1950 and 1960s the city was the site of civil rights demonstrations for integration in schools and public places. In 1968, after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., Baltimore was the site of race riots. By the mid-1970s the city had a black majority, and Clarence Burns became the city’s first black major in 1987. In the 1970s and 1980s people continued to move to the suburbs. From 1960 to 1980 the city’s population dropped by 16 percent. In response, the city started redevelopment projects to revitalize areas such as the Inner Harbor. The Inner Harbor became home to Harborplace, an area of shops and restaurants, in 1980 and to the National Aquarium the following year. In 1992 the Oriole Park at Camden Yards, where the Baltimore Orioles professional baseball team plays, opened in downtown Baltimore. | ||
