My mom, Deborah Rudacille was just named - BALTIMORE'S BEST HISTORIAN in Baltimore Magazine! Here's what they said...
Local Historian Deborah Rudacille writes with grit and grace, a perfect combination for chronicling Bethlehem Steel from the inside. But Rudacille doesn’t tell it from the inside of a boardroom; she sets her book, Roots of Steel, inside the tight-knit Dundalk community where she was raised. As a result, she’s able to personalize the effects of boardroom decisions and frame them with historical perspective that highlights key aspects of the labor movement and the struggle to improve safety and pay. Her family’s Dundalk is a blue-collar nirvana that slowly goes to hell as the fires of Sparrows Point are snuffed. Through Rudacille, we understand its significance and mourn the loss.
