This year, the City of Roswell, collaborating with Roswell Roots and community partners, will hold its 21st annual Roswell Roots Festival in honor of Black History Month. The month-long observance will feature flagship events such as “Lyrics and Lyre,”
“The Spirit of Harriet Tubman” and the “Black Opry Revue,” created to educate and entertain the community about cultural and historic contributions of African-Americans. There will also be storytelling and drumming, theatrical performance and spoken word, and more. To talk more about the festival, spoken word artist Ashlee Haze joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom along with Corinne Sutherlin, Roswell Cultural Arts Supervisor of Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs.
