The Ongoing Fight for Freedom: Stories of NC’s Black Veterans
 
Thurs. Sept. 21 | 6:30 pm | Northstar Church of the Arts, 220 W Geer 
 
>From the Revolutionary War to modern day military operations, Black North Carolinians have fought for freedom, both on and off the traditional battlefield. They have served the U.S. military with valor and vigor, and cultivated a rich legacy of courage, compassion, and community building that has too often gone unrecognized. This presentation & performance sheds light on just a few of the stories of the Black freedom fighters, resistors, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who hail from the Old North State. Meet some of North Carolina's most courageous characters, from the Harlowe Patriots to the Harlem Hellfighters, as they shine a light into our shared history and encourage audience members to contemplate the ongoing fight for freedom that impacts us all. (Learn more about performer and show creator Dr. Sonny Kelly at Legacy Heirs Productions.)
