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.

The story told by these poems is very moving and is very, very timely.
