In this independent study in journalism, Douglass worked with Rafael Alvarez to create a profile of “jazzman,” Greg Tompkins.

A former City Desk reporter for The Baltimore Sun, Alvarez wrote for the HBO drama The Wire, and has published ten books. Educated in Catholic schools, he is a lifelong resident of Baltimore.
