Free Family-Friendly Matinees Presents: Follow the Drinking Gourd: A Celebration of the Underground Railroad at The Glove Theatre

The Glove’s annual Free Family-Friendly Matinée Series partners with the Fulton County Museum and I Can Breathe & I Will Speak to present a very special program in celebration of Black History Month!

Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd is a celebration of the history and songs of the Underground Railroad, which led scores of slaves to freedom in the mid 19th century. Join us to learn authentic spirituals such as “Follow the Drinkin’ Gourd”, “Go Down, Moses”, “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, “Go Tell It On the Mountain” and more as you take a ride up the railroad with an informative slideshow and historical presentation led by Fulton County Historian, Samantha Hall-Saladino, and I Can Breathe & I Will Speak Leader and Chairwoman, LaShawn Hawkins. Celebrate the history of freedom in song with us!
