Join us for a special afternoon inspired by the exhibition Fashion and Faith: Hats of the Great Migration, celebrating the Black women whose faith, resilience, and leadership helped shape Albany’s communities.The program begins with members of Rapp Road Historical Association sharing the story behind the exhibition and the community collaboration that helped bring these powerful histories and treasured hats to the New York State Museum. Through personal stories and historical reflections, visitors will gain deeper insight into the women, families, and neighborhoods represented in the exhibition.
Then see award-winning storyteller, educator, and performer Barbara Howard, who will present a musical interpretation inspired by her heartwarming children’s book High Tea & Sweet Cakes. Filled with storytelling, music, and themes of tradition, family, and community connection, the performance invites audiences of all ages to reflect on the importance of gathering together, honoring heritage, and creating lasting memories across generations.
