Students’ book new approach to gathering history, working together

— CUMBERLAND —

Martin Luther King Jr. Day observances in Allegany County included the debut of a book on the rich history of Cumberland’s black community, researched and written solely by local high school students.
Students from Allegany and Fort Hill high schools gathered at Allegany College of Maryland on Monday to sign copies of the book Hidden Stories, Discovered Voices: A History of African Americans in Cumberland, Maryland, which they worked on for two years to produce.
