ADVANCE FOR SATURDAY, JAN 18, 2014 - In this Jan. 3, 2014 photo, Janice Hayes-Williams sits in the Bertina Nick Historical Classroom at the Stanton Center in Annapolis, Md. In 2007 the Annapolis City Council passed a bill apologizing for slavery. The legislation also called for a time of education in the last week of October. But after four years without any observance, Hayes-Williams returned to the Annapolis City Council to follow up on its pledge. Her efforts led to another bill in 2011 forming the Annapolis Commission on Maryland’s Constitution of 1864 and the Abolishment of Slavery. (AP Photo/Capital Gazette, Joshua McKerrow)
