Freedman's Town to Botham Jean: Stories for Racial Healing


Moody Performance Hall

The greatest tool we have for racial healing and understanding each other is sharing our stories. Together, we can transform our city!   "Freedman's Town to Botham Jean: Stories For Racial Healing" is a live storytelling show featuring 7 diverse Dallasites sharing their true, personal stories about racial tension in Dallas. Directed by master storyteller Dr. Njoki McElroy and produced by Oral Fixation (An Obsession With True Life Tale)’s Nicole Stewart, this magical storytelling experience will provide historical context to racial tension between blacks and whites in Dallas while offering a very personal lens through which to understand what our wounds are so we may acknowledge and heal them.    

Group, student and senior discounts are available. Scholarship tickets are also available. This show is made possible thanks to the Embrey Family Foundation, Office of Cultural Affairs & WORDSPACE.
