THE VOICES OF BLACK ANGELS is a concert reading performance that celebrates the power, poetry, and political urgency of classic Black and lesbian voices from the Harlem Renaissance through the 1990s. This evocative evening weaves together spoken word and storytelling inspired by the works of trailblazing writers including Essex Hemphill, Assotto Saint, Pat Parker, Countee Cullen, James Baldwin, and the groundbreaking anthology HOME GIRLS: A Black Feminist Anthology edited by Barbara Smith.
Through rhythm, language, and collective memory, The Voices of Black Angels uplifts stories of love, resistance, identity, and liberation, honoring the artists who shaped generations and continue to resonate today.
