PRESENTING:
THE BROWN SISTERS
Linda and Cheryl are two of the three children of the late Rev. Oliver L. Brown, who along with twelve other families led by the NAACP, filed suit against the local Board of Education on behalf of their children. Upon appeal to the United States Supreme Court the Topeka case became the lead case among five legal challenges. Oliver Brown died in 1961 before knowing the impact of this landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision, which bears his name - Oliver L. Brown et. al. v. the Board of Education of Topeka, et. al.

Charles Holt
Music and Storytelling have always been a vital part of Charles’ life. However, despite thorough tutelage from his religious, Southern grandmother, who insisted upon teaching him church hymns as a child, and not to mention being surrounded by a buffet of characters and self-proclaimed Griots, Charles never aspired to walk the path of a performing artist. It wasn’t until a friend saw his potential as a singer and actor that Charles’ love for music resurfaced and began to unfold. In July1996, Charles, led by intuition, left the comforts of the South with $400 dollars in his pocket for the bright lights of Broadway.
