SUMMARY:Trouble So Hard: Songs and Stories of Slavery\, Freedom\, and Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Trouble So Hard\nWhen: February 14 (7pm)\nWhere: Fullwood Theater (Matthews Playhouse) (100 McDowell St.\, Matthews\, NC) \nAudience Notice: This performance is not suitable for young children due to strong themes of violence. \n\nSlavery wasn’t new to the world when Spaniards brought the first enslaved Africans to what would become the state of Georgia. Some believe the turbulence of slavery\, freedom\, and civil rights no longer exists\, instead sequestered to the annals of history. On the contrary\, since the very beginning of North American settlement\, a relentless\, uncompassionate greed has worked to thwart freedom\, education\, and participation in democracy for Black people. There are scores of stories to tell. Trouble So Hard will explore some of those that comprise our American history\, and bring us to the here and now.
