Join us at the Temecula Valley Museum for our Black History Month presentation, “Catch the Spirit," a play about Amelia Earhart and Bessie Coleman sent to earth from heaven, to assist in a family crisis. “Queen” Bessie Coleman was a daredevil barnstormer pilot who was the first African-American female pilot and first African American to hold an international pilot license. Amelia Earhart was an American aviation pioneer who disappeared in 1937 near Howland Island while attempting to circumnavigate the globe. Ms. Earhart was a bestselling author and received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for becoming the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
E.P. McKnight, the author of “Catch the Spirit," has provided the Black History Month Program at the Temecula Valley Museum for the last three years and is a captivating performer who is immersed in the history of this country bringing both joy and sorrow to her performances. She is a poet; professional actress who has performed on stage, television and in movies; and has written three books and several plays. Join us for a night to remember.
