As October is Black History Month, Lancashire Library and Information Service, in partnership with Rainbow Beach from Lancaster, is presenting a series of poetry, music and drama workshops in branches across the County
In celebration of Black History Month in 2009, throughout October the Rainbow Beach team, featuring poets, actors and musicians will be presenting a series of workshop performances in libraries across Lancashire.
Their unique blend of music, drama and poetry highlights the plight of migrating share-croppers from the Mississippi Delta to their “promised Land” in Chicago.
The Rainbow Beach story is set against a background of historical events that brought about fundamental change in civil liberties in America in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Each workshop will explore the power of words in relation to equality and diversity culminating in the recording of a newly created poem followed by a 30 minute presentation of Rainbow Beach songs and dramatisation.
