“When you are at home, your troubles can never defeat you.”
“If an opportunity is not taken when it comes, it passes away”
—Ghanaian proverbs
This February of 2022 was to be the kickoff of the first of three Sankofa Seasons, our
vision for the next three years of True Colors programming. In Twi, the language of
Ghana, “sankofa” means “to retrieve” and the adinkra symbol tells us that looking to
the past will help us advance in the future. The plays of this first Sankofa Season –
Go Back and Get It – were chosen to allow us to acknowledge our past struggles and
triumphs and learn from them. The struggles remain real – the omicron variant has
changed our plans, but not our intent. We made the tough but necessary decision to
cancel the musical production of Raisin, but the story still must be told. The show,
and the season, will go on, but in a slightly different way.
The three stories that make up “The Reality of Realty” are set in adjacent time frames
to A Raisin in the Sun: Younger is a prequel; Beneatha’s Place and The Etiquette of
Vigilance are sequels. The playwrights – Kelundra Smith, Kwame Kwei-Amah and
Robert O’Hara – were each influenced by Lorraine Hanberry’s classic story in a
different way, but all three address the tenuous hold so many Black people in America
-past and present – have on their physical homes. It is said that the most valuable
investment one can make is land, because no more is being made. These stories
address the power that real estate has on the notion of identity and self-worth.
We invite you back to Southwest Arts Center for our next production, Fannie: The
Music and Life of Fannie Lou Hamer by Cheryl L. West (Jar The Floor, Before It Hits
Home) from June 14 – July 10. This one-woman show embodies our vision of thriving
at the intersection of artistic excellence and civic engagement by celebrating the
impact Ms. Hamer had on voting in Mississippi and across the country. We hope this
story will inspire Georgia’s next generation of voters to make their voices heard.
Positive vibrations,
