Traditionally The Drum Was The Heartbeat And Soul Of African Communities, Thus Holding Deep Historic And Symbolic Significance. The Drums Herald Political And Social Events And Ceremonies Of Birth, Death, And Marriage. They Spark Courtships, Home-Coming And Going, And Accompany Religious Rites And Rituals That Call Up Ancestral Spirits While Creating An Atmosphere That Promotes Healing And Social Resilience.

This Commemorative Event, Live Streaming From The Portsmouth African Burying Ground, Is A Celebration Of Black Joy That Pays Homage To The Ancestors. The Healing Beat Of The Drums Provided By Akwaaba Ensemble, An African Drumming And Dance Group And A Ceremony By Rev. Robert Thompson Will Honor The Ancestors Who Survived Upon These Shores.
