The African American Museum, formerly the Afro-American Cultural &
Historical Society Museum which was established in April 1953 is a
nonprofit cultural and educational museum that aims to share the
achievements of African Americans. Flewellen believed that everyone should
have the opportunity to see the accomplishments of Africans and those of
African descent.

"African People Are Not Alone" was written and performed by Adetokunbo
Borishade. This monologue is the result of a powerful vision that appeared
to the playwright showing millions of God’s warrior angels standing at
attention beside African people worldwide waiting for God’s signal to enact
change, along with the message “YOU ARE NOT ALONE”.
Adetokunbo Knowles Borishade, Ph.D. is a first-time novice in the acting
field. However, she does have strong academic preparation for performing
arts with a B.A. and an M.A. in communications. She also holds a Ph.D. in
Africology, with which she concentrates on the traditional, pre-slavery
portion of African cultural history with a timeline that starts around
200,000 BCE. Her academic research background and her field research in
traditional African culture have developed a rich fountain of African
cultural and historical knowledge from which Dr. Borishade presently draws
and pours into her performing arts creations.
By profession Adetokunbo Knowles Borishade is currently a semi-retired
professor with 35 years of university teaching experience in the U.S.A. and
West Africa. She became a professional playwright, storyteller, and stage
play producer in 2016 after returning home to Cleveland, Ohio from Liberia,
West Africa in 2013. Her new mission at that time was to use the performing
arts as a tool to teach traditional African culture, history, and
civilization. She uses the artistic platform to present the documented
contributions African women and men have made to humanity and to world
civilization.
Prior to this performance “African People Are Not Alone”, Dr. Borishade has
written five stage plays, four of which have been produced: “Created in
God’s Image”, “Ancient African Prophecy of Imhotep”, “Prophecy of Imhotep”
(The Skit), “The Ancient Prophecy and the Maafa”, and “To Be or Not to Be
African”.
Dr. Borishade belongs to several performing arts and playwright specific
organizations: NEohioPAL; The Dramatist Guild; and Playwrights Local.
