Exploring Black Women’s History in Costume and Spoken Word

The inextinguishable link between mother and daughter across generations is at the heart of “Citrus,” a play written by Celeste Jennings ’18 as a senior fellowship project this year. The production, for which Jennings also designed the costumes, uses dress, dance, and poetry to connect the joys, sorrows, resilience, and the humor of black women from the 19th century to the present. Filmed and edited by Chris Johnson.
