2011 2010Black History Year
The question "What is the Walker doing for Black History Month?" kind of stumped me at first. I thought to myself 'well, nothing we don't do all year long...' Here at the MWTC we celebrate African-American art and artists all year long. Sure, we can highlight some events in February but we're proud to say that we once were and still are the epicenter for black art in Indianapolis, all the time. However, to make it easy on you (and easy on BHM articles), we've listed out the programs and activities we have going on in February. And, if we can say or ourselves, they're all the rage...
Friday, February 18th, - dinner theatre with Freetown Village at 6:30p in our ballroom. The evening entitled “This Little Light…” will feature the singers of Freetown Village and take the audience on a historical musical journey from the mid 1800’s through the mid 1900’s.
