The purpose of my blog will be to show the development of Bethlehem Steel. To first provide some back ground information on the land which it was built. Secondly to show why it was built there in the first place opposed too many other locations. The balk of this project will cover the “hay day” of the company. This will involve working conditions, discrimination, and the impact it had on Baltimore.
In closing I will try to some up some of the main reasons for the company’s demise. The goal is to give a broad depiction of the evolution and ultimate collapse of a one time very prominent business. This will allow for me to incorporate some of the affects the company had on the city and people of Baltimore. Thorough research coupled with first hand interviews will provide an entertaining yet educational blog.
