Queens
Historical Society, an innovator in America’s multicultural education explosion has emerged
as a leader in presenting programs that assert the rich royal heritage of African Americans. The Society’s signature
play, "Queens of the Nile, Now", written by founder, Sakkara Ingrid Thomas, focuses on the respected
role of women by men in ancient African matrilineal societies as an example for boys and girls today. The success of this
royal history pageant led to the evolution of QHS’ Crown Jewels Program. This vibrant repertoire includes
performances, storytelling, demonstrations and school field trips, including The Festival of
African Royalty and Egypt Day at the Pyramid. Adaptable for all stages
and ages, QHS’ Crown Jewels presents a fascinating exploration into the depth of
beauty that emerges from Africa throughout the centuries, covering three thousand years and over
five thousand miles of the continent’s history.
