GEORGETOWN – In celebration of the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, the Richard Allen Coalition, Inc. will sponsor a creative dance presentation by the University of Delaware Dance Theatre.
The presentation – “Mary Ann Shadd Cary/Her Life and Legacy” - will be held Saturday, Feb. 22 at 3 p.m. at Georgetown Middle School, located at 301 W. Market St., Georgetown.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for youth.
The arts and performance project bring attention to Mary Ann Shadd Cary, the first black woman newspaper editor in North America.
Born to a free family in Wilmington, after editing the Provincial Freeman in the 1850s, she went on to become the first black woman to enroll at Howard University’s new Law School.
The event is presented by Sharing our Legacy Dance Theatre. The artistic director is Lynnette Young Overby, with Michelle Peebles the narrator.
