Opening day for our newest exhibition, "Passion and Purpose: Voices of Maryland's Civil Rights Activists," is almost here.

“Everyone should come to see this exhibition- especially Marylanders. We’re telling their stories and bringing forth a full representation across the state, in the hopes of bringing people into a deeper connection with civil rights history and perhaps, their own community." - Maya Davis, director of the Riversdale House Museum and a member of the exhibition's curatorial panel, in this week's AfroNews.

Presenting exhibition sponsors pncbank and Maryland Heritage Areas Authority.
