1619, a multi-generational production, commemorates the 400 years since the first ship of African slaves arrived in America. Performances commemorate the struggles, recognize the heroes and celebrate the story of America’s African sons and daughters.
Two performances of the production are being held at Kennedy King College (KKC) on Saturday, October 12 at 2:00 and 6:30 PM.
Ted Williams III, playwright, producer and one of the actors in the production, is also chair of Kennedy King College’s Social Sciences Department.
