Marse Callaway died on May 19, 1952 at Provident Hospital. He is remembered for his influence on so many African Americans being appointed in state and local positions of government. He faced a lot of scrutiny because he was a black Republican, but he made strides to advanced the African American community in Baltimore. The efforts that he made influenced the hiring of black police officers for Baltimore City Police Department. He supervised a training school for "tan" individuals to ensure they passed the exam to become police officers. This was one of the many things that Callaway was involved in for the advancement of African Americans. He is an important figure to African American history in Baltimore City.
