Black History Trilogy III: André De Shields is Frederick Douglass: Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory
FRI, FEB 26, 2021 7:00 PM
Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner and Hadestown star André De Shields concludes the Trilogy with a performance of an excerpt from his self-crafted solo work “Frederick Douglass: Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory.” The one-man show explores the life and achievements of the great emancipator Frederick Douglass.
“Though Douglass began his life as a slave, through heroic effort, he became one of America’s most important and historically influential icons,” said De Shields. “Frederick Douglass: Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory” tells a story about brutality and deliverance that is implausible yet historically accurate. De Shields portrays the Great Black Emancipator with a performance that is as filled with hope and achievement as it is darkness and anger.
