‘African Roots/Latino Soul’
Tagged: Dominican Republic, student, Theater“I’m black, I’m Latino, but I’m also American,” said the ninth-grader
“The students’ writing has been turned into a play called “African Roots/Latino Soul” that is being performed at the Smithsonian’s Discovery Theater and the Round House Theatre in Silver Spring. (See “If You Go” box.)
The play explores the cultural contributions that black Hispanics have made in sports, food and music. One example is the merengue, the most popular dance in the Dominican Republic. It originated, some say, from the rhythm and sounds of chained slaves working in the sugar-cane fields.”
