Why do we remember some stories from history and forget others? Who were the people who fought these battles? What did they want? In this workshop\, we try to go beyond the slogans and the selected story that makes it into the history books. What would it be like through the eyes of the men and women who stood their ground and fought for what they thought was right?\n    Register Here – spots limited: https://cameronartmuseum.wufoo.com/forms/p1doawvn1sqf3jz/ \n2–3:30 PM \n    The Ongoing Fight for Freedom: Stories of NC Black Veterans – Dr. Sonny Kelly presents a theatrical presentation on the centuries of service by Black soldiers. “The Ongoing Fight for Freedom: Stories of NC Black Veterans” is a one-man presentation & performance elevating Black freedom fighters and veterans with North Carolina connections – known & unknown\, on and off the traditional battlefield – who have engaged in over 400 years of a struggle for freedom\, liberty\, and equality. Their sacrifices\, resistance\, and resilience have contributed to American democracy\, even as they were denied the full rights of citizens. Through listening to their stories in this production\, we can gain a deeper understanding of our nation’s founding ideals\, and harness the hope to continue the work\, together\, of making those ideals a reality for all.
