work on behalf of non-profit and charitable organizations, including 
Detroit's Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
  Mr. Ferrell began as a volunteer at the Charles H. Wright Museum, 
where he proved himself to be engaged and enthusiastic in taking on new 
tasks and responsibilities. He was hired and rose through the ranks, 
ultimately serving as the museum's Vice-President for Public Programs 
and Community Engagement. Mr. Ferrell worked on a number of projects 
and founded the museum's Liberation Film Series, which comprises film 
screenings, panel discussions, book readings and signings, and lectures 
to promote awareness, critical thinking, and informed activism. In 
short, during his tenure at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African 
American History, Charles Ferrell has done an outstanding job of 
fostering cultural exchange.
  Over the years, Mr. Ferrell has worked tirelessly to educate the 
community by creating awareness about the countless achievements and 
contributions of African-Americans. Please join me in recognizing his 
fine example.
