As part of Black History Month 2007, Allegany College of Maryland invited Al Feldstein to set up an exhibit on local black history. This was available for inspection by audience members before and after a presentation given by Dr. Frank Smith, a former member of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and now Director of the African-American Civil War Museum in Washington DC.
Historical and musical performances were also presented during the evening, as indicated by the woman in makeup third from the right.
