Roots Revival is an original cabaret that chronicles the journey of African Americans from West Africa to the present in song, dance, and spoken word. On February 3rd, 2012, a cast of A-list local talent spanning five generations will take the stage at the North Fourth Art Center to perform a wide range of musical styles—everything from Broadway show to African drum and dance to poetry slam to soul and R&B. Roots Revival celebrates the Zimbabwean proverb: "If you can walk, you can dance.  If you can talk, you can sing."

American Dream Movement


Van Jones, Founder American Dream Movement

A new movement is rising all across America to fight back. It was born among the teachers, students, firefighters and nurses of Wisconsin who took over their Capitol to stop Governor Walker’s power grab. Now it’s spreading as millions of other Americans–inspired by the events in Madison, Wisconsin–stand up to say “No” to right-wing attacks on the middle class.

Van Jones called this new wave of energy the “American Dream Movement.” It’s growing stronger by the day, and it’s not going away until Americans can find jobs, afford to go to college, retire with dignity, and secure a future for their children and their communities.
