Heroes in Harmony: An Adventure Through African-American History
By Patsy Ford Simms

Join us on a musical journey through history as we celebrate eight extraordinary African Americans who changed the world with their contributions to music, inventions, sports, and science! From the smooth sounds of Ella Fitzgerald and the groundbreaking compositions of Scott Joplin to the ingenuity of Garrett Morgan and Benjamin Banneker, and the legendary achievements of Jessie Owens, Ora Mae Washington, George Washington Carver, and Daniel Hale Williams—this show brings their stories to life through music and song.
