BLACK GIRLS PLAY: THE STORY OF HAND GAMES

SPONSORED BY: Diversity Coalition SLO County & NAACP SLO County

There may be no journey more fascinating than the exploration of our roots, nothing more revealing than the discovery of where we come from and nothing more powerful than our inspirations, ideas and culture. BLACK GIRLS PLAY chronicles the origins of the hand games that have been played by young girls for generations and their influence on music, dance and community all across the American creative landscape.
