A Celebration of Negro Spirituals

February 15, 2019 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15, 2019, in the gym of Mary N. Smith
Cultural Enrichment Center, 24577 Mary N. Smith Road, Accomac.
Admission: $10 at the door; cash or check only; no advance ticket sales

In a collaboration of the Eastern Shore of Virginia Historical
Society; Mary N. Smith Alumni Association; and local church choirs,
performers from all over the Shore will share their talents while we
explore signal and map songs used by slaves in their journey along the
Underground Railroad. Choirs will include the United Voices of
Jerusalem Baptist Church in Temperanceville; choirs from Gaskins
Chapel A.M.E. Church in Onancock and Macedonia A.M.E. Church in
Accomac; and the Anointed Word Choir from Anointed Word Church of God
and Christ in Keller. Several Shore soloists, including Catrina
Satchell of Anointed Word and Inayah Mason, an Arcadia High senior who
attends Painter’s New Mount Zion Baptist Church, also will take the
stage. For more information, call the Historical Society at 787-8012
or visit shorehistory.org.
