AARCH is coming BACK to Hood College and proud to share a special opportunity to experience the renowned Morgan State University Choir as they bring their powerful voices and extraordinary musical tradition to the historic Coffman Chapel.

Under the direction of Dr. Eric Conway, the Morgan State University Choir is recognized as one of the nation’s premier university choral ensembles. Their repertoire spans classical, gospel, and contemporary music, with a celebrated commitment to preserving and honoring the rich heritage of the African American spiritual.

From stages around the world to right here in Frederick, the choir has served as a cultural ambassador for Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland, and the United States.

Join us for an inspiring evening filled with soulful harmonies, powerful voices, and a musical tradition that carries generations of history with it.

What an afternoon of faith, history, music, and community!

Today’s “We’ve Come This Far By Faith” celebration at Hood College was a beautiful reminder of the strength, perseverance, and faith that have carried Frederick County’s African American community through generations.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us, along with Mistress of Ceremony Jacquie Gales Webb, the Frederick County Mass Choir, and all those who helped make today’s celebration so meaningful.

As AARCH prepares to open the doors to our new Heritage Center, moments like this remind us exactly why preserving these stories, honoring those who came before us, and creating a place for future generations matters so much.

We’ve come this far by faith and there is so much more ahead. 💜

AARCH Society is thrilled to see Council Member Kavonté Duckett joining the Frederick Health Hospice Board!

Black history isn’t only something we preserve from the past - it’s something being made every day through leadership, service, and a commitment to our community.
Representation matters. Seeing Black leaders helping guide organizations that touch the lives of families throughout Frederick County is an important part of the story we continue to document and celebrate.

Congratulations, Council Member Duckett, on this new opportunity to serve!
