legacy of our forebears who have made significant
contributions to our history. The Billie Holiday
Theatre will present "Looking Back, Moving Forward:
The Spirit of Marcus Garvey," an evening of culture
and edutainment with an interlude of drama, poetry &
comedy. Featured will be the awe-inspiring cultural

philosophies of Marcus Garvey by veteran performer Ron
Bobb-Semple. The legendary Ossie Davis once said of
Mr. Bobb- Semple, "You are one of the most gifted
