Antonia Hylton did a fantastic job of researching the history of Crownsville. Horrific, yet highly informative. Our country sure has a horrible past when it comes to racial inequality and poor mental health care.

Fascinating and terrifying segregation in the treatment and non-treatment of mental illness of Black patients in Maryland in the Jim Crow era. Excellent journalism.
