African Culture: Our Ancestors' Dream, Our Living Legacy

Experience an unforgettable tribute to heritage, resilience, and cultural pride with 1619: A Journey of Resilience, a moving stage production that blends dance, song, and storytelling to illuminate a pivotal moment in history.

This powerful performance traces the arrival of the first Africans to Virginia in 1619—captured, displaced, and sold into slavery. Through evocative movement and heartfelt music, the production honors the strength of those who endured unimaginable hardship and became the foundation of a living legacy that continues to shape generations.

Audiences will witness the emotional and historical journey of a people whose sacrifices and strength birthed a cultural legacy that transcends time. From the pain of enslavement to the triumph of perseverance, 1619 pays homage to the trailblazers who emerged from a dark past to inspire change and hope for the future.
