Cincinnati Song Initiative presents the internationally-performed lecture recital Narrative of a Slave Woman, providing arguably the most comprehensive journey in contextualizing the words of Spirituals with the very real-world stories they tell from the darkest chapter of this nation. Join distinguished artists LaToya Lain and Casey Robards for this profound journey that places the Spiritual – and everything it stands for – in the spotlight.
In 2003, HBO presented a documentary entitled Unchained Memories – a collection of slave narratives collected in interviews during the 1930s as part of the Federal Writers’ Project – that was narrated by famous African American actors reenacting the original dialogue. From the original interviews, we’ve learned about living standards, the long days, everyday chores, and tales of the “good” and “bad” slave owners.
