🎷✨ What a memorable evening of history, music, storytelling, and community!

The Voice of Black Cincinnati was honored to partner with the Harriet Beecher Stowe House to present the Edgemont Inn Tavern Re-Enactment, bringing to life the legacy of the historic Edgemont Inn, a Green Book-listed tavern and boarding house operated by Irene Bacon during the segregation era.

Together, we celebrated a place that once served as a safe haven for Black travelers and a gathering space for the Walnut Hills community. Through live music, storytelling, food, local vendors, and fellowship, guests experienced an important piece of Cincinnati's Black history in a powerful and engaging way.

🎶 The YOLO Band transported us back to the sounds of the 1940s with an incredible performance of jazz, swing, and blues, while 📖 storyteller Brandi La'Sherrill shared stories that connected us to the people, culture, and experiences that shaped this historic site.

🤝 We are grateful to everyone who attended, supported, performed, volunteered, shopped with local vendors, and helped us preserve and share these important stories. A special thank you to our sponsors, ArtsWave and Carl & Dawn Satterwhite, for helping make this event possible.

📸 Take a look at some of the highlights from an evening dedicated to honoring the past, celebrating Black culture, and strengthening community connections.
