Juneteenth Celebration: Crumbs from the Table of Joy
2100 Park Boulevard, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free
A staged reading of Lynn Nottage's play, Crumbs from the Table of Joy, takes you to Brooklyn in 1950. An African American man, Godfrey Crump, is grieving over his wife's death. He finds new meaning in religion. He moves his family, Ernestine, a 17-year-old, and Ermina, 15 years old, from Florida to Brooklyn. Their Aunt Lily espouses Communist sentiments and Godfrey's new wife is not only a white woman, but German.
