CBMM Supports Frederick Douglass Honor Society
The Museum recently presented a check for $10,000
to the Frederick Douglass Honor Society (FDHS),
proceeds from Frederick Douglass Day, held at the
Museum on October 23.
The proceeds will help fund the Frederick Douglass
statue, to be installed at the Talbot County Courthouse
in Easton, and support educational programs on
Douglass’s life in the Talbot County Public Schools and
Libraries.
“We’re happy that the event was so successful,” said
CBMM Chair Joe Peters. “We hope this is just the first
of a long string of partnerships with this cause.”
“Our partnership with the Maritime Museum has
been a positive experience,” said Frederick Douglass
Honor Society President Eric Lowery. “It shows that
organizations working together can effectively give support
and encourage community involvement in projects
that improve our quality of life. We’re so grateful for
the volunteers who came from several organizations
and for Museum President Langley Shook’s initiative in
creating the event.”

In addition to donating all the proceeds from the
Frederick Douglass Day event, the Museum also donated
staff time in coordinating volunteers, assisting the
committee, and working the day of the event.
