mtrak is taking its popular Great Migration of African
Americans Exhibit on tour to its Baltimore, Philadelphia,

The exhibit, which documents the journey ofAfrican Americans from the rural south to the industrialnorth during the early 20th century, was first displayed inPhiladelphia for National Train Day in May 2011.
“Through historic documents and compelling images, the
exhibit recounts the significance of rail travel during a cru-cial time in the history of African Americans, and it’s ourpleasure to share the exhibit with new audiences,” said
Emmett H. Fremaux, Vice President, Marketing and Product
Development, Amtrak.
The Great Migration Exhibit chronicles the journey of more
than 800,000 African Americans from the South to the North-
east, Midwest and West via passenger and freight trainsbetween 1910 and 1930. Amtrak decided to tour the exhib-it after receiving numerous requests from both passengers
and Amtrak employees who missed the exhibit this past May.
The exhibit was designed with the help of the Schomburg
Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library,
African American Museum of Philadelphia, Library of Con-gress, The Henry Ford
®
, and University of Chicago andFlorida State Archives.The exhibit will first display in Philadelphia’s 30th StreetStation
August 2 - 19, 2011.
Then in Washington, D.C.’sUnion Station

education in the Philadelphia area.” Josh Hunnex, LMHSChoir Director, is the CEO of Project Philly and one of theorganizers of the day’s events. He noted, “One of the mainreasons we invited
Snowday
to perform was because theyre not only exceptional vocalists, but also focus on edu-ating audiences and students about a cappella singing.”uring the afternoon clinic,
Snowday
worked with the stu-ents on vocal skills, vocal percussion and presentationechniques.
Amanda Aldag, a lead member of
Snowday,
noted that the
group has been performing and teaching throughout theD.C. area for the past four years. “We perform at schoolassemblies and teach in-school workshops during schoolbreaks,” she said. “Our camp Smart Mouth offers 2-day in-
tensive workshops aimed at improving students’ fundamen-tal
a cappella skills, including vocal performance, arrang-ng and group management.”The evening concert at LMHS titled “Summer Snowday,”featured the clinic’s participants divided into a cappellaensembles named Project Lemon and Project Lime. Theevening closed with
Snowday’s
presentation of their educa-tional tour through the history of a cappella singing, fromGregorian chants to Barbershop, Doo Wop, Hip Hop, andmore.The evening performance raised funds to benefit the AniFiordimondo Performing Arts Scholarship Fund (namedafter a LMHS vocalist) that helps a deserving performing
arts student attend the Walnut Street Theatre Summer Camp.
A second performance of a cappella singing – in partner-ship with Philabundance – will take place at the Lower
Merion High School Auditorium, 315 E. Montgomery Avenue,Ardmore, PA, on
August 12
at 7:30 p.m. The concert is free,but all attending are requested to bring and donate canned
goods to help the Philabundance effort to assist those inneed throughout the greater Philadelphia area.
