Power of Truths: Arts and Education Festival | Day 1

The Power of Truths Arts and Education Festival presents Know the Ledge: Hiphop History Live. Join us for an evening of storytelling, music, and dance as we bring together amazing artists from multiple disciplines to tell important and often overlooked stories from the history of our country. Part theatre, part dance, part history lesson, part Hiphop music, join artists Akrobatik; members of Fire in Little Africa – Written Quincey, Krisheena Suarez, and iamDES; Marcia Gomes; Khalif Neville; and more for an intense and entertaining trip through history. Inspired by the power of stories to change the world, join us for an artistic tour de force combining art, history, and storytelling, to help us center joy and envision a just future.

Following Know the Ledge: Hiphop History Live, will be the public premiere of the short film, "If You Cross This Boundary, We All Die", about the inspiring journey of William and Ellen Craft. The film features multiple descendants of the Crafts, as well as Kellie Carter Jackson, and an original score composed by Khalif Nevile. If you are familiar with Self-Evident's work, know that this will be their most powerful film yet!
