‘A Mother’s Cry for Her Children: Generations of Black History Moments’

February 28, 2017 Community Matters

Feb. 28, 2017

Dr. Yolanda Holmes’ avocation is writing dramatic scripts. She said today that when she thought of a way to share a perspective on Black History, she started writing.

The result was the presentation below, offered at the beginning of today’s Forum.

The video below contains the live acting from a presentation that also included music and videos. The full presentation may be seen here, but the sound is muted during the musical and video selections to prevent copyright infringement. The heart of the dramatic presentation by the live actors is below.

Performing are Dr. Yolanda Holmes and her children Brooke Holmes and Darrell Holmes.
