Brownsville Monument Dedication - 2020
On Tuesday, August 25, 2020 a ceremony was held on the Upper Quad of Frostburg State University (FSU) in Frostburg, Maryland dedicating a monument to the communities of Brownsville and Park Avenue. These were African-American communities which between the years 1927 and 1962 were displaced to make room for what is now known as Frostburg State University.
Depicted in the photograph unveiling the plaques are, from left to right, Brownsville descendants Janet Jackson and Anita Peck.
