Flyin’ West by Pearl Cleage
November 23 & December 6, 8
In this drama, four African American women escape their pasts as former slaves by moving to the harsh western plains. There they face bitter winters, trials of bigotry, domestic

November 22, 24, and December 7
Set on a college campus, Spinning Into Butter reveals the truth about institutional racism, and the stilted reaction to it. The play exposes the political “correctness” of authoritative figures who claim to be pro-minority but manage to ignore the elephant in the room.
This site was formed to support connectivity between members of Asheville’s African American Community and to support our locally owned businesses, professionals and community happenings. The site includes activities and events, and a directory of Black-owned businesses, professionals, service providers and clubs. In addition, we have articles about Asheville’s African American history, and links to other sites that document and celebrate our past.
We have a Facebook Group to encourage communication and sharing as well. Join us!
