Verda’s Place: Opening Reception

March 8, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

In 1962, Verda Freeman Welcome became the first Black woman in the country to be elected to a State Senate. Seven years later, she introduced legislation creating the first ethnic commission in the United States, the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture (MCAAHC). In celebration of the MCAAHC’s 50th Anniversary we are launching a new exhibition, Verda’s Place: An Homage to a Valiant Woman.
Through memorabilia, photographs, and archival documents, Verda’s Place encourages interaction and participation to move beyond the exhibition space and into the communities of those who visit. Come learn more about this valiant woman and her legacy as we launch this new, interactive exhibition.
Verda’s Place: An Homage to a Valiant Woman will be on display at the Banneker-Douglass Museum March 8-December 28, 2019.
