This photograph depicts Al Feldstein on the left, and William E. Peck on the right. It was taken at the Cumberland A.M.E. Church on February 15, 2004. This was during Black History Month and a display and program on local black history had been organized by the church.
Mr. Peck was among the first group of integrated students to graduate from the Allegany County Public School System. This was from Fort Hill High School, in 1956, which had the first scheduled commencement of that year. Al Feldstein is holding a newspaper article from that period about the graduation.
