History
The Slave Theatre was first acquired by Judge John L. in 1984. Judge Phillips acquired the then Regent Theatre and renamed it The Slave Theatre as a reminder of the oppressive plight Blacks endured in the beginning of their history in this country. During the mid 80’s through the late 90’s, The Slave Theatre served as major political and cultural hub for activists and artists alike. At th
e turn of the century, The Slave Theatre experienced a decline in major resources and began to focus it’s programming on preservation. The Slave Theater was recently renamed Slave One: Institute for African Heritage in Fall 2014. Mission Statement
Slave One: Institute for African Heritage aims to serve Bedford Stuyvesant and all other boroughs of New York City as a cultural arts center. Our programming focuses on works that illuminate and reflect the vast experiences of the African Diaspora. What's Next? Slave One: Institute for African Heritage is in the midst of launching a national fundraising campaign to open its doors to begin major renovations. The goal is to equip Slave One with multiple spaces that accommodate film, theatre performances, fine art and commercial office spaces.
