Black to My Roots
African American tales from the head- & the heart.
7:30 PM 6000 16th Ave SW, Little Theater (Science Building 125), South Seattle Community College
|
|
Black to My Roots expresses the collective experience of African American women and their unique relationship with their tresses. Hair and race, hair and men, hair and popular culture, hair and history...who knew that something so minute in nature, could in fact be a reflection of much more? Intelligent, funny and original, “Black to My Roots” tells tales of love and laughter, tales of pride and pain - and, ultimately, tales of acceptance.
Tickets, $5/ $3 students & seniors. For more information contact, Cessa Heard-Johnson, 206-768-6455.

An FCC Hearing on Media Consolidation with FCC Commissioners, expert testimony and public comments 9am, Friday March 7: HUB Auditorium, Univ. of Washington for more information:www.reclaimthemedia.org. Five powerful media giants control most of what's seen on TV/Cable. In most communities, just four companies control 70% of all radio broadcasting. The Internet, a wonderful tool, is no guarantee of diversity--as legal safeguards for open access are under constant attack by the corporate communications lobby. TAKE ACTION: Come to the FCC's hearing!
