LATE: a Love Story

​Hosted by the Madison Area Bahá'í Community as part of Race Unity Day.
Arrive early for the luncheon from 11:30am-12:30pm.

​LATE: A Love Story is not just a performance – it’s a raw and honest exploration of truths discovered late in life, weaving together narratives of love, loss and healing. Performed by Rachelle Zola, the 76-year old who walked 825 miles from Chicago to Montgomery for racial equity, just last year.

​Rachelle’s powerful performance will leave you captivated, while her journey towards understanding and reconciliation will prompt you to reconsider the world around you.

​In this performance, Rachelle vulnerably shares her own story, which transitions seamlessly into ten friends sharing their stories – many of which are steeped in the devastating legacy of the past. Through listening, she continues to take in the profound injustices faced by Black Americans.

​The stories are a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit – a journey toward healing and understanding. After the performance there is a circle held where everyone who wants to share has the opportunity to do so. Join us in creating a world where ‘equity for all’ is honored, lived by and celebrated.

​The performance is free and open to the public. It is suggested for an audience 16 years and older. Follow Rachelle’s journey and connect with the LATE LOVE community at late.love.
