What critics and audiences are saying about the revival of Lola Louis' signature production.
From the Press
“A stunning revival that bridges generations—part history lesson, part spiritual awakening. The Griot’s presence alone is worth the price of admission.”
“Lola Louis wrote a play that refuses to look away, and this cast honors every word of it. Raw, tender, and ultimately hopeful.”
“The Visitation scene—with Garvey, Malcolm, King, and Shaka Zulu—drew audible gasps and, by the end, a standing ovation.”
From Our Audiences
“My daughter came home talking about Marcus Garvey for a week. That’s what this play does—it makes history personal.”
“I was in the original cast as a kid. Seeing it come back to life, with some of the same names, brought me to tears.”
“Forty-five minutes that our students will remember for the rest of their lives. Please bring it to more schools.”
