— The Opening Event —

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

Saturday, February 4, 2012, 8:00pm

Beernard and Shirley Kinsey

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.

A Raisin in the Sun

A RAISIN IN THE SUN
by Lorraine Hansberry
Directed by Phylicia Rashad

Set in 1950's Chicago, this groundbreaking play portrays an African-American family's pursuit of their shared dream for a better life amid conflicting aspirations, betrayal, and racism. This timeless classic continues to shine an unflinching spotlight on America's struggle to overcome its past while paying tribute to those courageous enough to shape a future filled with an abiding faith in the fundamental decency and unlimited capacity of the human spirit.
