TED Talk: If you enjoy musical theater and/or are interested in learning about an event in African American history, you’ll enjoy this TED Talk performance by a musical cast. The TED Talk for today is “A Historical Musical that Examines Black Identity in the 1901 World’s Fair,” by Amma Y. Ghartey-Tagoe Kootin, a scholar and artist who is currently developing At Buffalo, a musical theatre piece created from historical records, documenting representations of black experience at the 1901 World’s Fair in Buffalo, New York.
