About this Event
HIDDEN HISTORIES
Haunted History & Hidden Stories
“The stories we almost lost…”
Not a haunted house. A haunted history.
What stories remain after the people, places, songs, and traditions that created them have changed?
Hidden Histories: Haunted History & Hidden Stories is an immersive evening exploring overlooked Black histories through storytelling, music, oral traditions, folklore, historical interpretation, and community conversation.
Join us for the inaugural Hidden Histories experience at the James & Grace Lee Boggs Center.
