In Perpetual Flight: The Migration of the Black Body

The National Black Theater (NBT), in partnership with the Schomburg Center, presents a one-day event examining the movement of the Black bodies in America and the impact it has had in the quest for liberation.
Utilizing Schomburg Center archives, multidisciplinary performance, and community dialogue, NBT will commission new pieces by theater-makers of African descent to examine the works of James Baldwin, Harriet Powers, Marcus Garvey, Harriet Tubman, and Jacob Lawrence to understand the complexities Black people have faced migrating in America.
