Members of the Upsilon Nu Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc, and the Upsilon Nu Scholarship and Social Action Foundation, Inc. hosted the official opening reception in recognition of the artistic exhibit, “An Officer and A Gentlemen – Selections From the Colonel Charles Young Collection.”  Held at the Black History Museum in downtown Richmond (Jackson Ward), the exhibit features important pictures, a computer information kiosk, and other important artifacts that pay tribute to this great war hero and fellow member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc.

The Charles Young collection is part of an overall artistic tribute entitled “Diluted Loss” by artist Keith Ramsey.  The overall exhibit details the untold stories of World War II African American soldiers.

The exhibit is being hosted at the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia, 00 Clay Street Richmond VA from June 4, 2010 through September 18, 2010.  Efforts are underway to include a lecture regarding Colonel Young during the exhibit. Please call the museum for further information.
