White Plains Insider: Westchester County Legislator Benjamin Boykin 5th District: The Telling: A Gathering of Remembrance.

 


THE TELLING: A GATHERING OF REMEMBRANCE.

Friday, June 17, 2022 at 5:30 p.m.
Congregation Kol Ami, 252 Soundview Ave, White Plains, NY

"The Telling: A Gathering of Remembrance" takes you into the past to connect with the plight of African-Americans and become active participants in telling their story and brings you into our triumph of today.

A.W. Hampton, a resident of Montgomery, Alabama, inspired by a Jewish Passover experience, felt the desire to bring a condensed, unified history to African-Americans that can be easily shared in one sitting over a "soul food" meal. The narrative is set as a juxtaposition that highlights a people's suffering and their cry, in contrast to God's response to them through inspired words, scripture, pictures and events.
