Each year, the Triangle Friends of African American Arts assembles a group of performers and creatives for a January showcase. This showcase, called the African American Theater Review, seeks to raise awareness about the many plays, musicals, operas and poetry performances that will open in the Triangle during the months to come.
It's one of many services the organization, now celebrating its 10th anniversary, provides to the local community. Its founder and executive director, Sherri Holmes, was greatly inspired by her mother Meredythe Holmes, whose work as a Black woman on various arts boards and trusts, has been pioneering.
Both women sit down with Due South co-host Leoneda Inge to discuss their work.
