You wanna get some dinner? I got in here and Arabic selling fruits and vegetables from horse drawn wagons is a tradition that began about 3 to 4000 years ago. It was practiced in ancient African cities, as well as in urban centers of medieval Europe and Asia. Baltimore is one of the few American cities in which this tradition is still practiced. Once a major means of supplying city dwellers with fresh produce, rubbing has largely disappeared from America's urban areas. Every time we get a place where we got to got to stay, we all we have to move on. And the urban renewal thing, you know, Albert Ines hires out horses and wagons and keeps a stable population in Fairmont because of urban renewal. He'll be moving again for the fifth time. Give me straight facts as far as it goes is look like his faith is fading away every day. In a sense, me telling no fear it because it is. You feel it every day. Yesterday I went down and bought a set of tags, the wagon. And it's just 83 in the whole entire city that's got tags. And you know, on these wagons where this time about two years ago, would be least the three, three digits would be in, you know, like, say, 250 or so. That's how it's faded away. Many things have changed for the rappers. There used to be a time when they could go to a market for their produce on Pulaski Highway. But now the market has moved to Jessup, Maryland, too far for a horse and wagon to travel. But those who continue with the trade by from trucks that carry the produce back to the city. Roland Freeman, a freelance photographer born in Baltimore and once an Arab himself, has dedicated his professional life to documenting black folklore and has probably the largest photo collection on my portfolio on the eight Rambles, all in Baltimore is sort of centered around that way of life in which I was raised and all of my family was raised.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758#t=121.13,265.61"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758/transcript/61526/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And it's that area of my life for that period in my life where I gained the values and the understanding of people, which enables me to do the different types of things I do today. My grandfather and my great grandfather and my great uncle, they ran because they came along at a time that black people just did not have the different alternatives available to them. And so if a man was proud and independent, he became self-employed and he did what he could do to make a living. And so arriving in the city of Baltimore goes back to when the history of the city began arriving. And Roland's family began with his great grandfather, Peter Janey, who was also a tugboat captain and a minister to a mixed congregation. His great uncle, Handy Janey, had one of the largest produce businesses in the city, along with his partner, Eleanora Williams, back in the mid-twenties. Well, he just goes, I guess I'll hit the number scanner and bought a horse. So we decide that we would start a rabbit. Well, I hit the numbers again. I bought another horse. So after that, Mr. Dan, you bought horses. Tell you what, we ended up. We had 27 horses. I don't know if you've heard this, but I'm pretty sure you have. Most of the people around are saying that the Arabs are just a bunch of crooks. A bunch of guys run in and out in jail, a bunch of guys who steal when they Junkin and and that they they want them off the street. Now what do you have to say about that? I'm going to say that wasn't true because we never had a bar locked up the whole time we had them on a train wagon.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758#t=266.15,372.05"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758/transcript/61526/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Why do you think most people say a ribbon is dying out? I don't know. Maybe because a lot of people doesn't bother with it. Maybe. Uh huh. The people that had children, they bother with a rabbit. Uh huh. Because it's cheaper for them. So in your eyes, I see that. I don't see why it should die down. No, I don't see why they should let it go down. Then I don't think they will. Because now that when you see a team that got little boys like you all used to be on there with them still working. Now when they get older, they will still continue to continue on a rabbit. So you don't think it's going to die? No, I don't. I think it'll be around when I'm gone and be a little longer. Many people wonder where the name a rapper comes from. Well, it's only used in Baltimore to describe the street vendors with their colorful wagons and ponies. One theory we heard was that someone long ago went to Africa and saw Arabs selling their wares on the street and yelling out what they had for sale. So when they returned to Baltimore, they started calling each other the strange name, which was time turned into a robber's. One of Roland's friends, Benjamin Mickens, who everybody knows is Winfield well. He also grabbed and owned five teams at one time. He now works for the city but still owns a horse and enjoys taking his wagon. So what do you think about all this stuff that everybody's saying about Iraq? Are you going to have people talk? You know, they don't care what you do. They talk about the president now. They don't know about the president. They talk about some great good things and the bad thing.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758#t=373.22,474.03"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758/transcript/61526/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We ignore the fact they go to some of the people we help. And this is a known fact. And actually it's self-explanatory. Like the young gentleman over the past days is starting to feel that the door is really had to go to go. He doesn't need to bring it to them that the whole picture is there. I can't go to market myself and I have to wait on somebody to come in to do it for me. And then they come along like today, and nobody hadn't been down to help me yet. Sometimes when I turn to the market, I don't get what I want. Maybe I could get it off the wagon. Nancy, help me. I think that Arabie will always be here as long as the city will be in as long as there's a horse and wagons available. You see, until that whole time runs out. But as we want to know it, it's going to be gone. If a rabbit were to end today, a lot of people like Priscilla Moses would have no way of getting fresh fruits and vegetables and a lot of people would be out of work and Baltimore would be out of a tradition that is as old as the city itself. We'll be back in just a minute.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758#t=474.42,555.26"}]},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758/transcript/61526","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["English [Transcript]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114020/file/216758/transcript/61526/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"subtitling","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/061/526/original/open-uri20231116-60075-953qtj?1700177900","format":"text/vtt","language":"en"},"target":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/061/526/original/open-uri20231116-60075-953qtj?1700177900"}]}]}]}
