NEW
FILM & CONCERT -- You can help!
It's a documenary on The Hyers hosted by Metropolitan Opera diva,
Denyce Graves and narrated by America's Heartland's Akiba Howard.
Who
were The Hyers?
=They were sisters --Emma and Anna Madah, who started as opera
singers and finished as singer-activists for their people.
=The First black opera singers to succeed in touring the US on the
operatic concert stage
= The first to form a successful comic opera troupe (called one
of the best in the US)
= The first troupe to chronicle the black experience from slavery
to freedom in no fewer than seven original musicals
= The first to sustain employment of black singers, actors, and
dancers who did not wish to be defined by minstrelsy in the dark
days of lynchings, oppression, and the KKK that followed Reconstruction.
They began as teens in 1867 and deserve to be known!
The
goal: The goal is for PBS release in 2014 and to raise
$30,000 for the live 2012 concert that will be a part of the film.
