Description
Concept and Creation by Destiny Coleman
The Journey: Breaking Barriers is a new multidisciplinary stage production presented in collaboration with Ohio Humanities. The work features Columbus-based artists, dancers, spoken word poets, musicians, and vocalists, and highlights the ongoing fight for educational equity in the United States. The production will tell the lesser-known stories of those who courageously challenged segregation in schools, focusing on the Lincoln School Marchers in Hillsboro, Ohio, and the broader resistance to integration in Columbus. Despite the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954, many Ohio communities resisted desegregation into the 1960s and 70s. This production will preserve and amplify these critical stories, allowing them to resonate with today’s audiences.
