Join us for Antonio Rocha’s performance telling the story of the Malaga ship, built in Maine in 1832. The performance will take place here, at UUSB, organized by NAACP, UUSB, The Wilson Center, FLIA, and David Patrick of REJ. The Malaga Ship and the following Q&A session will take place on Sunday, October 5 at 3:00.
“Throughout this wrenching and sublime performance, Antonio Rocha transforms himself into a vessel, holding with care and courage both the unfathomable suffering and the resilience of the five million Africans who were torn from their homelands and forced into slavery in Brazil, due in part to the actions of New Englanders.”
