The Landmark Society's Walk the Walk: Encounters with Rochester's African-American Ancestors has it all — and all are welcome. Music, laughter, joys, sorrows, challenges overcome and inspiration offered — everything you want in an enjoyable evening performance. We'll encounter several Ancestors from Rochester's past during the performance. "Captain Sunfish," a late 18th century frontiersman and formerly enslaved person will lead us in calling them forth. Sunfish is vividly portrayed by Shawn Dunwoody — those who have experienced his performances know that he will set the tone for a dynamic evening! The Ancestors include the very famous — Frederick Douglass — as well as those not as well known, such as Bessie Hamm or Anna Murray Douglass. You'll leave this performance with a better understanding of what people from our past have accomplished — and be inspired by what people of today can achieve.
