This segment was originally broadcast on September 28, 2012.

Today, we revisit the first episode of The Lines Between Us, Maryland Morning's year-long multimedia study of inequality in the Baltimore region. We start with an essay from senior producer Lawrence Lanahan. Lawrence came up with the idea for this series; he explains why he feels … a sustained conversation about inequality in our region is necessary.

Then, a personal story from Pikesville resident Sheldon Caplis. In 1964, a family secret came to light and forever shaped his approach to race relations.
