During the African American Cultural Festival in Baltimore County, Maryland, Governor Martin O'Malley began shaking the hands of Marylanders at the table sponsored by the Governor's Office of Community Initiatives (GOCI). GOCI distributed over a thousand pieces of literature concerning the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture, programs for African Americans, and the Banneker-Douglass Museum to festival attendees. In addition, GOCI staff members informed festival participants about the various events and programs GOCI hosts, answered their questions regarding the various aspects of Maryland's African American history and culture, and provided activities for children, such as creating stars out of paper.
