LIVE THE MAGIC - A TRUE STORY
Live The Magic - a true story employs photos, text, and music to explore one block in Roxbury, a neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The exhibition highlights the community’s changing landscape and increased development and gentrification. Live The Magic - a true story focuses on two Washington St buildings: a new luxury condo development (once a furniture store) next door to Grant A.M.E. Church, where singer Donna Summer worshipped as a girl and first sang in public when she was 10.
