Behind the Apron: The History, Life, and Hidden Achievements of Southern Maryland's Black Oyster and Clam Workers
African Americans have been an integral part of Southern's Maryland's proud commercial fishing industry. Nowhere has their contribution been more prominent than in the seafood houses along the Patuxent River. Until most recently, in Calvert and other neighboring counties, the function of shucking oysters and clams was almost exclusively performed by African Americans. Black oyster and clam workers have brought dignity, skill, and a strong sense of community to a job that industry outsiders often consider "dirty work."
