Wow...Thanks to everyone who attend the opening on Tuesday night, we had a great turnout. There was a lot of pomp and circumstance, as befitting a project celebrating the 300th year of the Annapolis Royal Charter. We had numerous speakers, from all of our affiliated organizations, and even the the official Annapolis town crier as master of ceremonies (Check out the photo to the right!)
I'd especially like to thank Dr. Mark Leone, Mayor Ellen Moyer, and Director Wendi Perry for making this opportunity possible, it has been great working on this project. I'd also like to thank the entire staff of the Banneker-Douglass Museum for their work on the exhibit, most especially Amelia Harris, exhibits specialist, because without her vision we would be looking at blank walls in that exhibit gallery! I would also like to congratulate everyone on a job well done, this has been a long 4 months, and for some of us a long 18 months, and I am really appreciative. (In the photo: staff of the museum, Archaeology in Annapolis, and Mayor Moyer, who all collaborated on "Seeking Liberty.")Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone who came to the opening to see our work, I am very proud of 
what we have done, and I am glad it garnered such interest. I would particularly like to thank my friends and colleagues at the University of Maryland, College Park for their attendance in number! (see photo to the right)
