An Evening with Bernard and Shirley Kinsey:
What You Didn't Learn in High School History

Saturday, February 4, 2012, 8:00pm

Join us as the Kinseys take us on a journey through art and history that will entertain, inspire and surely transform your perspective of the African American experience.

The evening will focus on Reconstruction through the Harlem Renaissance (1875-1935). Bernard and Shirley will explore the many stories of accomplishment and contribution that are often left out of our schools' history books. Now in its third year, this will be a "sold out" event. Purchase your seats early! You will be sure to leave with a new-found respect for and excitement about African American history and culture. Don't miss this life-changing event.

The Kinsey Collection is a national touring museum exhibit of authentic African American art and history from 1500-present, most recently displayed at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., where it was viewed by over 2.5 million people.
