Commemorate Black History Month

This year, Black History Month also marks the conclusion of the “Year of Frederick Douglass,” an American hero and Maryland icon.

Look for events at the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center on the Eastern Shore, the Banneker-Douglass Museum in Annapolis, and Baltimore’s Reginald F. Lewis Museum, Great Blacks in Wax Museum, and the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park to name just a few, with more events across the state.
