Words Like Freedom/Sturdy Black Bridges is a “poetic concert” featuring African-American writing and music. Words Like Freedom focuses on the significant role of African-American women in the struggle for racial justice and opens with Sojourner Truth’s “Ain’t I a Woman” speech. Sturdy Black Bridges explores the trials and triumphs of black womanhood through the words of African-American women writers. Other writers whose work is featured in the program include Nikki Giovanni, Yusef Iman, Carolyn Rogers, and Priscilla Cooper.

This moving performance is a rich classroom resource that can be used to introduce students to often overlooked literary works by African Americans. A 1997 KET production.
