This program was part of a welcoming and gift exchange with a contingent from Ballina, Ireland, including Ballina Mayor Michael Loftus, and is one many performances these special young dancers have scheduled.
UMass professor Whitney Battle-Baptiste and Du Bois' great-grandson Jeffrey Peck will emcee the event, which will also include a short film of the dedication of the W.E.B. Du Bois National Historic Site, a spoken-word performance and a dance piece.
