In celebration of Juneteenth, join us for a performance from Hidden Women Stage Company! Tammy Denease is a local actor, director and historian who brings to life the stories of “hidden” women throughout history. She will present a one-woman performance of the story of Sarah Margu. At only 9 years old, Margu was taken from her home in Sierra Leone by slave traders and brought to America aboard the Amistad. Learn how Margu and others forced aboard the Amistad won their freedom and how she went on to become the first African person to graduate from college.
