African American Reflections on the Civil War
April 3, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Expect the “Wow” factor as you witness the lives and roles of Africans and Africa’s descendants unfold in this drama that informs and empowers. Music and dance punctuate the stories of the spirit and magic of Africa, conditions of enslavement, resistance, the Black Dispatches, United States Colored Troops, women in support, the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment.
Come early to get your seat as this rich, true story unfolds — scripted and performed by Elegba Folklore Society, Richmond’s Cultural Ambassador. Embrace the Spirit!
Comments from the Audience:
“Spectacular! The equivalent of a Broadway theatre reading that should be on the road to sell out audiences everywhere.”
“Very thorough.”
“It was amazing to see how so much information could be presented in 90 minutes. I and my grandchildren were engaged throughout.”
“I am from Hampton, and I had no idea of the Virginia history you shared about the Hampton Roads area.”
“Why do they keep this knowledge from us?”
