CORE Ensemble Presents: Unbought

Event Details

Unbought features the dramatic stories of three African American women: journalist and women's suffrage activist Ida B. Wells; Sally Hemmings, the slave with whom Thomas Jefferson fathered six children; Shirley Chisholm, the first African American Congresswoman from New York and first African American woman to run for President. The title of the show derives from Shirley Chisholm's memoir, "Unbought and Unbossed"; the musical score features jazz, folk, popular, and classical works by African American composers. Wednesday, March 22, from 6pm to 8pm Lecture Center at Ridgecrest/IWV campus
