In observance of America’s 250th anniversary, We the People: A Black American Testimony is a powerful original theatrical production that examines the nation’s founding ideals through the lived experiences, sacrifices, and voices of Black Americans.
Through a series of compelling monologues, historical projections, and live performance, this production brings history to life — not as distant memory, but as living testimony.

Emmett Till
Trayvon Martin
George Floyd
Rev. James Reeb

and an original composite character, “The Girl They Never Saved”

This production is written and produced by Jameesha Harris under The Harris Collective LLC and is designed to create conversation, reflection, and community impact.
Projected Audience: 500–840 attendees
Join us for an evening of truth, history, and powerful storytelling.
