Voices of the Eighth Chronicles II: Stories from Harrisburg's Old Eighth Ward is a collage of storytelling that fuses imagery, movement, sound, and music to uplift the work of chain-breakers and change-makers from Harrisburg's demolished Eighth Ward. This original work pays homage to the resilient spirit of the nineteenth and twentieth-century African American liberators, educators, orators, and writers who fought to build a community of freedom and belonging. Meet these vibrant personalities as seen through the eyes of the Sankofa bird who reminds us that to ensure a strong future, we must first understand the past.
In addition to the public run of performances, Dauphin County Commissioners Mike Pries, Chad Saylor, and George P. Hartwick, III joined with Capital Blue Cross to provide free student matinee performances for Dauphin County schools.
