The parade was followed by the Grand Opening of the Black History exhibit at the Museum of the History of Delaware County, 408 Avenue of the States in Chester.

The Museum is open to the public on Wednesday and Friday, 9am-4pm; Thursday 1pm-6:30pm; and Saturday, 9am-2pm. Here are pictures from the event:
