FSCJ Student-Driven Production of “Emancipation Majigeen” Premieres at Kent Campus

WHAT: Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ) will host the student-driven production of “Emancipation Majigeen,” inspired by “Majigeen,” an original musical drama written by FSCJ Professor Jennifer Chase.

 “Majigeen,” is a story of female empowerment told through historical and contemporary lenses honoring the life of Anna Kingsley, a West African slave from present day Senegal, who became a slaveholder and planter in early 19th-century Florida.

“Emancipation Majigeen,” will explore both contemporary and historical social issues, including slavery and genocide, and the power of the arts to engage in these controversial conversations in a constructive manner.
