We Speak: A Celebration of Black Storytelling

Experience an unforgettable Black History Month performance where powerful stories come to life. Voices will rise. Histories will breathe. And the beauty of Black storytelling will take center stage.

Join us at the Lucero Library for our first Stories on Stage presentation.

This special event features dynamic performances of prose, poetry, and song, each honoring the resilience, creativity, and brilliance of Black voices across generations. From moving personal narratives to timeless classics, audiences will experience stories that inspire reflection, spark connection, and celebrate the rich cultural legacy that shapes our shared world.

Whether you’re a lover of literature, a fan of performance, or someone who values community and culture, this evening invites you to listen, feel, and celebrate. Bring your family, bring your friends, and come be part of an experience where the past and present meet in powerful expression. Stay after the performance for a brief talkback exploring how Black stories shed light on health equity and inspire stronger, healthier communities.

Free and open to all.
Come honor Black History Month with us—through the stories that continue to guide, uplift, and illuminate. A  collaboration of the NAACP, Colorado Arts Alliance for Health, and Rocky Mountain Creative Experience.
