“Stories Untold”, with choreography and historical text adapted by Ms. Fatima Logan is a, “choreographic work that blends dynamic, flowing, passionate, and expressive dance phrases with spoken text that is based off of historical accounts of medical experimentation and treatment of [enslaved] African-Americans …. in the Antebellum Virginia.”
