Announcing MOTHERS OF THE MOVEMENTS: Acknowledging Pioneering Black Women! In March 2018, National Black Theatre, in partnership with the Harlem Stage and Carnegie Hall will present "Mothers of the Movements," [MOMS] a celebration of the contribution of Black women pioneers from the Civil Rights and Black Arts movements. "Mothers of the Movements" is a two-part series that will take place in both Harlem-based institutions.

National Black Theatre will present "The Black Woman: She Does Exist," an evening of newly commissioned work that was inspired and in response to seminal texts written by Black women artists and activists of the 60's such as Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, Ella Baker, and the women of SNCC.

These new works are being created by the next generation of vital Black women voices; writers Mfoniso Udofia, Chisa Hutchinson, Ebony Noelle Golden and ensemble. Seeking to strengthen the bonds between past and present, and in addition to the newly commissioned work, NBT has gathered pioneering Black women legends of the theater community to perform the original texts.
