    “Sankofa Theatre is a vivid, vibrant introduction to the complex history of persons of African descent on both sides of the Atlantic. It succeeds wonderfully as both a memorial to the centuries-long tragedy of African enslavement and a celebration of those who maintained their humanity and dignity in the face of that singular tragedy.”

    Quintard Taylor, Scott and Dorothy Bullit Professor of American History,
    University of Washington
