A historical musical that examines black identity in the 1901 World's Fair

Title:: A historical musical that examines black identity in the 1901 World's Fair
Speaker:: Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe Kootin
Description:: In this lively talk and performance, artist and TED Fellow Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe Kootin offers a sneak peek of her forthcoming musical "At Buffalo." Drawing on archival material from the 1901 Pan-American Exhibition, a world's fair held in Buffalo, New York, the show examines conflicting representations of black identity exhibited at the fair -- highlighting unsettlingly familiar parallels between American society at the turn of the century and today, and asking: Are we all still part of the show?
