The history flow that will grow as we perform and tell it, no longer hidden

Blessings. The Oscar Micheaux Family Theater Program Company continues its goal for educating and empowering the Public with theater production and artistic project with music focusing on our history of our capture and transporting our Ancestors to the Western hemisphere during the time of the African Diaspora, the Black or Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance Era and the impact of these three cycles of evolement.
Our Ancestors captured, chained and put on ships were the only settlers that came to the shores of what was and called America and were free as other were running away from persecutions with others sent from jails or prisons to settle the land. Many of our Ancestors went to other places in chains and were forbidden to use their cultural traits to include not speaking their own language and forced to speak the language of their captors and emulating the customs of their captors. The culture similarities were hidden in the drums and the dance. Even today we honor our ancestors as we do the drum beats of then and pound the stage with dance movements of old as if our feet were moving in the center of the villages.
The Harlem Renaissance Era is a time to build on the affinities using the music of spirituals, Gospel, Blues and all other so-called Black dominated music i.e. Hip Hop to crystalize a sameness in cultural values for bringing our forgotten “cousins” to the table and become a force for social change and social justice. Learning who  we are and who we are not erases the social strains of being different, but yet the same no matter the language spoken or the hue of the skin.
