Story of African American women, told through popular music -- from “God Bless’ the Child” to Destiny's Child. Using popular music to trace the development of black women from the oppression of the 1930s through the girl groups of the 60s to empowerment in the 90s, this soulful and fun show takes the audience on a musical journey from pain to power.
