School Day Live - Harlem's Little Blackbird - The Story of Florence Mills

The Story of Florence Mills by Renee Watson, is an electro-acoustic story experience, presented by sound scientist and imaginationist LaFrae Sci. Born to formerly enslaved parents, Florence Mills discovered early on that her light, birdlike voice captivated audiences. Her talent carried her to 1920s Broadway, where she inspired writers and performers alike. Despite her fame, she witnessed the impact of prejudice and used her platform to uplift Black artists and advocate for civil rights. Harlem’s Little Blackbird tells her inspiring story of justice, equality, and following one’s dreams.

Two Roads

An Ace Pictures and Irish Repertory Theatre Production

As told by Mick Moloney & Lenwood Sloan

Directed by Susan Wittenberg

Tracing the often overlooked 200-year history of exchange between Irish and African American cultures, TWO ROADS explores how dance and music became a shared language of resistance, survival, and joy. The film is deeply shaped by the work of folklorist and banjo rambler Mick Moloney and by creative catalyst, choreographer, and performer Lenwood Sloan. Their insight, scholarship, and artistry guide the film’s exploration of a rich cultural dialogue between past and present. Featuring performances by artists including Kaitlyn Sardin, Jerron Paxton, Nora Brown, and Malian griot Cheick Hamala Diabate, and a post-event panel moderated by Dr. Aaron A. Flagg featuring filmmaker Susan Wittenberg, Nicola Murphy Dubey of Irish Reparatory Theatre, and featured dancer Kaitlyn Sardin, TWO ROADS unfolds as both a celebration and a tribute, affirming art’s enduring power to connect across time, tradition, and shared experience.
