In celebration of the book Freedom Was in Sight: A Graphic History of Reconstruction in the Washington, D.C. Region, Ford’s Theatre is proud to present an elevated book talk with acclaimed Reconstruction scholar Dr. Kate Masur, dramaturg Faedra C. Carpenter, and educator Candra Flanagan on February 7, 2025. Ford's will showcase vibrant illustrations by Liz Clarke and feature actors reading aloud excerpts of the book. The event concludes with a book signing.
Experience the convergence of history and theatre, as Ford's brings to life stories of Black Americans in Washington, DC, and its surrounding region, who bravely worked to reunite their families, build their communities, and claim rights long denied them.
