Voices of Woodlawn is a program that looks back at American history and reflects forward on what slavery then means to us today...
Voices of Woodlawn is a 35-minute program of poetry written in reflection on the 90 largely unknown slaves at Historic Woodlawn Plantation in Fairfax, VA. The harmonica-flowing program was recorded last Sunday during the worship service at Davies Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Camp Springs, MD. Here's the link -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTsGDB8USs&feature=youtu.be The story told by these poems is very moving and is very, very timely. The Voices of Woodlawn -- Patrick Washington Diane Wilbon Parks Sylvia Dianne "Ladi Di" Beverly Hiram Larew with Cliff Bernie on harmonica Voices of Woodlawn, a program of poetry about slaves at an historic plantation estate, was presented virtually on Juneteenth -- Friday, June 19 at 6:30 pm Eastern US Time.
