The show opened with an angelic entrance of band members dressed in all white, accompanied by singer, who opened with a soulful musical number. Before the clothes made their debut, I knew the entire night was going to be a celebration of black history and an iconic fashion moment.
Next, author and speaker Casey Gerald recited a speech on slavery, what our ancestors encountered 400 years ago, and the revival of freedom we didn’t have as black people. “You can’t hurt us no more,” Casey repeated powerfully. He paid homage to legends Jimmy Hendricks and Rosetta Tharpe, hinting at the magical tribute that was about to be paid to them throughout the show.
After the emotional speech, the curtains opened and a full black choir made their way onstage to sing hymns as the models descended down the runway. According to the program the choir was named the Pyer Moss Tabernacle Drip Choir Drenched in the Blood, and after listening to them perform for almost an hour it made perfect sense. From their high notes to their effortless transitions, I had goosebumps up and down my arms.
