Events Calendar
She Was There: Concert
June 14 @ 3:00 pm EDT
Inspired by the profound words of the spiritual “Were You There?” this two-day event brings together film, music, and dialogue to illuminate the often-overlooked stories of Black revolutionary women throughout history.
Day Two: Concert & Reception
Sunday, June 14, 2026 | 3:00 PM
Museum of African American History, African Meeting House
Free with RSVP • Capacity limited to 175
Experience a powerful musical tribute bringing together artists from Boston Lyric Opera and Castle of Our Skins. Through opera, spirituals, new works, and spoken testimony, this concert uplifts the lives of Black women whose leadership shaped American history—honoring both well-documented figures and those nearly lost to time.
Guests are invited to a pre-concert reception at 2:30 PM in the Susan Paul Room.
This program is presented in partnership by Boston Lyric Opera, Castle of our Skins, Everyone250, MA250, Museum of African American History, Roxbury International Film Festival, and West End Museum.
She Was There received funding from a civic practice grant from OPERA America’s Opera Fund.
This event is presented in partnership with Everyone250.
