“After Angelo,” a one-day program honoring the legacy of the first African woman mentioned by name in the historical record at Jamestown, returns to Jamestown Settlement on Saturday, February 27, 2021, for a lively celebration of African-American culture and heritage.
Festivities begin at 12 noon with a traditional African Libation by Corey Staten and a performance by Atumpan Dance Theatre. The rest of the day will be filled with art, music, storytelling and community.
At 2 p.m., a "Many Voices/One Story" community discussion with Barbara Hamm Lee, host of WHRO/WHRV’s “Another View,” a weekly call-in radio talk show that discusses today’s topics from an African-American perspective, for a community discussion with Christy S. Coleman, executive director of the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation. The one-hour event explores the importance of including African American, American Indian and other cultural perspectives in teaching America’s history.
All programs and activities have been adapted to meet protective protocols and social-distancing procedures to create a safe museum environment for everyone to enjoy. Capacity is limited in indoor performance locations.
