The Hurrah Players and Clear Vision Edutainment are teaming up to reboot the stage-play “Path to Freedom.” An original stage-play written by Corey Staten, and directed by Carla Turner, “Path toFreedom” traces the evolution of African-American culture from medieval West Africa, through slavery in America, into the Post Reconstruction era, all the way to the inauguration of President Barack Obama. Travel through time with historical figures such as Mansa Musa of 14th Century Mali, Anthony and Isabella Tucker part of the first Africans to arrive in Virginia in 1619, Moses Grandy and William Carney of the Antebellum and Civil War eras, Investment Banker Maggie Walker, ODU professor and civil rights activist Dr. Jerry Carr, television producer and creator of Soul Train, Don Cornelius, as history comes to life through beautiful and poignant African-American music, dance and storytelling.
