THE NEW BLACK FEST in association with 651 ARTS presents
THE AMERICAN SLAVERY PROJECT
guest curators Judy Tate and Godfrey Simmons

The American Slavery Project is a monthly reading series that honors the work of African American playwrights. In recognition of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War (now through 2015) The Project will initiate new conversations about theater’s role in counteracting revisionism in our nation’s discourse about the Civil War and slavery.
