Woodland Mall recently hosted the New Hope Baptist Church African American Live Museum for community members of all ages to learn about Black figures and their accomplishments during Black History Month.
The New Hope Baptist Church presented its 12th African American Live Museum, “Echoes of Greatness,” throughout the mall on Feb. 21. A cast of 26 people ages 10-70 put on more than 15 live performances featuring remarkable African American figures throughout history and in current culture from politics, sports, science, arts, entertainment and more.
Teddy Pendergrass, Sean the Science Kid, A’Ja Wilson and Debbie Allen were some of the many personalities that appeared during the event.
“The partnership between New Hope Baptist Church and Woodland Mall is a shared commitment to culture and community,” New Hope Baptist Church Drama Ministry Leader Letitia Levi said. “Together, we forge the African American Live Museum, Echoes of Greatness, a powerful annual event that brings history to life with the city’s top musicians and performers.”
