A very special First Friday performance event in honor of Black History Month. Curated by storyteller and author LaTonya Yvette, this show aims to build upon Octavia Butler's mighty legacy and the long arc and history of Black people, to not only "endure" but always to imagine what we may not see.

"I realize that I have been writing about people for years and l've never seen any of them. I have the kind of imagination that hears. I think of it as radio imagination. I like radio a lot, better than I do television; and, really, I have to go back and try to imagine what characters might look like because when I began writing at age twelve, I couldn't. What I had to do was go back and sort of paint the characters in. What would I like them to look like?”
