I am pleased to announce a new historical production entitled: Flight to Freedom: The Fields Family and Freedom's Fortress, which will be held twice on Saturday, August 11, 2012 at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM at the historic Fort Monroe. This production will be a collaborative endeavor with myself and Ms. Ajena C. Rogers, a descendant of James A. Fields. Mr. Fields was a part of the first graduating class of Hampton Normal and Agricultural and Institute (now Hampton University) in 1871. We will present a dramatic interpretation of her family’s escape from slavery in Hanover County, VA to Fort Monroe during the Civil War. This production will include dramatic readings enhanced with us singing, multimedia PowerPoints, and video clips. The event is free to the public.
