As part of NJ Arts Community National Day of Racial Healing Events to promote racial healing through the healing power of drums and dance. African dance and drum belong to a much larger global community that keeps us connected through music, dance, and song, allowing us to feel our connections to each other, and a “sense of place” on EARTH.
