Abstract

'The misinterpretation of what became known as the 'Curse of Ham' played a formidable role in creating a narrative of inferiority and otherness for African Americans. For centuries, African Americans have been reframing that narrative. This project assists those reframing efforts in demonstrating how the arts can expose the racist usage of the 'Curse of Ham.' The researcher performs a theological and historical review of the 'Curse of Ham' and then uses the data to create and implement a live theater performance. The results suggest that the performance provides a perspective not otherwise known and empowers the community to reframe the narrative.' -- Leaf [2].
