SUMMARY:Boston Sankofa Storytelling Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The Boston Sankofa Journey is working to cultivate a common memory and nurture the spiritual vitality that has sustained the Black freedom movement—past and present—rooted in the liberating heart of the gospel. \nThis year\, our team has been working to record the stories of twelve Black Christian leaders whose faith in Jesus has shaped their own faith journeys and fueled the work of racial justice and reconciliation in our beloved city.  \n \n\nThis gathering will bring these testimonies to life through a powerful evening of film premier\, spoken word\, art\, and communal reflection. This gathering is co-hosted by Twelfth Baptist Church\, which is known as a “Fugitive Slave Church” for its central role in the abolitionist movement and as a key stop on the Underground Railroad.   \n\nJoin us on Thursday\, March 26 at Twelfth Baptist Church as we honor and learn from the testimonies of:\n\n\n– Rev. June Cooper\n– Rev. Dr. Willie Bodrick and Twelfth Baptist Church\n– Rev. Valerie Copeland\n– Rev. Dr. David Wright and Tenpoint BMA\n– Bishop Larry Ward and Rev. Dr. Virginia Ward\n– Rev. Dr. Ray Hammond and Rev. Dr. Gloria White-Hammond and Bethel AME Church Boston\n– Mrs. Karen Haywood and The Historic Myrtle Baptist Church in Newton\n– Dr. Geoffrey Hicks Sr.\n\n\nVideo testimonies from the above leaders will be interspersed with live elements of spoken word poetry with Rose Piercy\, Storyteller Sister Alma Wright\, Storyteller Rev. Charmayne Cook\, a song by Minister Isaiah Briggs and Jaronzie Harris\, and Storyteller Deacon Robin Nobles\, with Dzidzor Azalgo as the event host.\n\n\n\n\n*Note that only some of the storytellers will be present at the showcase itself. The rest of the stories are viewable on our Boston Sankofa Journey website here.*\n\nThrough spoken word\, art\, and storytelling\, this evening will bridge past and present—inviting us to listen deeply\, honor the wisdom of these elders\, and discern how we carry the work of truth\, healing\, and reconciliation forward in our city.\n\n\n\nDinner begins at 5:30 PM | Showcase at 6:30 PM\n\nWe invite you to sit at the feet of these elders as we look back together to shape a faithful future together—for Jesus\, toward shalom. \nRegistration is not required\, but helpful for our planning purposes. This is a free event – Please help us spread the word! \nFill out the form below to register to attend
