The Black Leaves Dance Company introduces their new modern ballet "Sons of Douglass".   In this ballet the choreography insires conversation and engagement across the intersections of Black life and the Black male experience.  Confronting questions of masculinity, race, sexuality and religion, the Leaves find strength in the prophetic words of Frederick Douglass and other Black poet-philosophers. Their wisdom, derived from pain, guides them toward self-actualization, highlighting family dynamics, the continued struggle with systemic racism, and the ever-empowering, but complex relationship with God.
