This evening's special performance of poetry and song features the work of Paul Laurence Dunbar with monologues and scenes from  Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Anthony & Cleopatra along with spirituals and the songs of Paul Robeson. Many know the contributions of Paul Robeson and even Ira Aldridge, but do you know Henrietta Vinton Davis? - (the Celebrated Shakespearean Tragedienne who later became the right hand of Marcus Garvey).  

Come share, learn, and be inspired!
