On Saturday afternoon, Indiana University’s African American Dance Company performed at Switchyard Park as a part of Bloomington’s Black y Brown Festival.

The inaugural Black y Brown Festival was held at the Banneker Community Center in 2018\. It’s described by the city as “a celebration and showcase of African, African-American, Hispanic, Latinx, and Native American creative arts and artists…”

This history of the dance company stretches back a bit longer. This year marks 50 years of performances for the group that is now headed by Stafford Berry, Jr. (Baba Stafford).
