Listen to this articleCommunity College of Baltimore County celebrated the legacy of Turner Station, one of Maryland’s few remaining historically African American communities, with a reception on Feb. 19.
The reception, held during Black History Month, commemorated a new exhibit at CCBC‘s Dundalk Community Gallery featuring artifacts from the neighborhood and a timeline of its history and cultural significance.
The event also featured a keynote address by U.S. Rep. Kweisi Mfume, a former Turner Station resident, and remarks from CCBC President Sandra Kurtinitis, CCBC School of Arts and Communication Dean R. Michael Walsh, and Turner Station History Center Co-Chair Edythe Brooks, who is also a board member of Turner Station Conservation Teams Inc.

The exhibit is open to the public and runs through April 17.
