Voices of Courage
Voices of Courage: Profiles of 19th Century African-American Women: In period costume, Queen Nur delivers a riveting portrayal of seven triumphant women. The historic and folkloric content renders an inseparable view of an era of struggle for the rights of Women and African-Americans. The performance declares the indelible mark each made upon society through determined action and stirring rhetoric. The Voices may include: Maria W. Stewart, Sojurner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Cathy Williams, Ida B. Wells Barnett, Mary Church Terrell, and Mary McLeod Bethune.
Receiving standing ovations, Voices of Courage premiered in Sacramento, California in conjunction with the Opening of the Smithonsian Institute's Traveling Exhibit: Freedom's Sisters:
"The program, Voices of Courage: Profiles of 19th Century African American Women, was remarkable for its educational value, historical accuracy, for a wonderfully developed script, and costuming that represented each character. Queen Nur's energy, commitment, and reverence for each of the women she portrayed was extraordinary! "The hour-long Voices of Courage program completely held the attention of the audience. Their comments were extremely positive and several attended her repeat program. " - Mary Mijares, Sacramento Public Library
The Program is customized for Middle School to Collegiate Levels, as well as Theaters. The length of performances may be 45, 60 or 90 minutes..
