In honor of Black History Month, the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library will be the home of an exhibit about the Michigan Avenue YMCA.

The location was a terminal for the Underground Railroad, as well as the birthplace of the NAACP.

The exhibit is meant to show how much advancement in America can be traced back to Western New York.

"People that need to come and see these exhibits, so they get an understanding of how important the African American contribution was to the development of the city of Buffalo and the Western New York area," said Clifford Bell, chair of the Buffalo African American Museum.

Teaming up with the Buffalo African American Museum Committee, the exhibit’s grand opening included presentations, music and dancing.
