The NCSSM Humanities Department presents
The Ongoing Fight for Freedom: Stories of NC’s Black Veterans
written and performed by Dr. Sonny Kelly

Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025, at 7 p.m.
in the ETC Auditorium, NCSSM-Durham

The Ongoing Fight for Freedom: Stories of NC Black Veterans is a one-man presentation & performance elevating Black freedom fighters and veterans with North Carolina connections – known & unknown, on and off the traditional battlefield – who have engaged in over 400 years of a struggle for freedom, liberty, and equality. Their sacrifices, resistance, and resilience have contributed to American democracy, even as they were denied the full rights of citizens.

Through listening to their stories in this production, we can gain a deeper understanding of our nation’s founding ideals, and harness the hope to continue the work, together, of making those ideals a reality for all.

This event is free and open to the general public. NCSSM community members are welcome and encouraged to attend; NCSSM-Durham students and employees do not need to register. Further information about the event is available HERE.
