September 25, 2014 – Segment 2We celebrate a history-making event: the unveiling of the first portrait of an African American to be displayed in the Governor’s residence in Maryland! Last week Governor Martin O’Malley and Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown unveiled a portrait of Frederick Douglass at the Government House in Annapolis. The painting is the result of a partnership between the State of Maryland and Sylvia and Eddie C. Brown. Eddie Brown is Chairman, CEO and founder of Brown Capital Management, LLC, the oldest African American investment firm in Maryland and the second oldest firm in the country. Eddie Brown joins us in-studio, along with the man who created the historic portrait, artist Simmie Knox.
