"Some blacks at the University of Maryland are concerned about the handling of an incident in which police are investigating the discovery of a noose hanging from a tree on campus, according to the president of the Black Graduate Student Association. Asha-Lateef Dobbs spoke with The Examiner about what happened at Monday�s meeting between student leaders and campus officials. On Friday, campus police responded to reports of a noose hanging from a tree outside the Nyumburu Cultural Center, an African-American hub near the student union. Police spokesman Paul Dillon said a maintenance worker removed the noose, and it was put in the trash compactor before police saw it, although officers have a witness who recalled noticing the noose about two weeks ago. Police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime."

Despite the Protestant majority, Maryland has been prominent in US Catholic tradition, partially because it was intended by George Calvert as a haven for English Catholics. Baltimore was the location of the first Catholic bishop in the U.S. (1789), and Emmitsburg was the home and burial place of the first American-born citizen to be canonized, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Georgetown University, the first Catholic University, was founded in 1789 in what was then part of Maryland[10].
