“It’s hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.” - Larry Holmes

MoAD and The Lorraine Hansberry Theater present a reading of I WAS BLACK ONCE by Willie Jones III.

An investigation of Black male identity in the 21st century, I Was Black Once by Willie Jones III explores how archetypes are assigned at first glance and what the effects might be on an individual.

The Lorraine Hansberry Theatre at MoAD is a collaboration that connects theater and the visual arts, bringing both audiences together, making each art form more accessible and relevant to both constituencies and providing context across art forms. Each presentation will be followed by an audience discussion.
