The artistic director of “Village Voices,” Joshua A. Thompson, has created this program with the assistance of local artists who currently perform works of African‐Americans. Amassing a cadre of talented and inspired vocalists, musicians, composers, poets, visual artists and an African dance troupe, Mr. Thompson has enlisted an up and coming playwright to construct a single narrative that weaves biographical/historical information with the masterworks of selected artists.
