STANDING AGAINST ERASURE
We'll speak with three women who lead beloved institutions that produce, preserve, and promote arts and culture from the African Diaspora. Join us for conversations with Shadawn Smith (Executive Director, The
Billie Holiday Theatre), Elizabeth Van Dyke (Producing Artistic Director, Woodie King, Jr's
New Federal Theatre) and Toya Lillard (Executive Director,
651ARTS) about their steadfast commitment to prevent the erasure of Black history and culture in these politically tumultous times on the next Backstage Stories.
