Sissieretta Jones grew up in Providence, toured the world as a first rate soprano, broke racial barriers, and was the highest paid Black performer of her day. For 85 years, she has rested in an unmarked grave in Grace Cemetery. At the conclusion of the celebration, a headstone will be dedicated at her gravesite in Grace Cemetery (at the confluence of Broad Street and Elmwood Ave.). On Thursday, June 7, please join us in The Pavilion at Grace for a FREE presentation of "The Sun is Shining: Sissieretta Jones", a one-woman play. The performance will begin at 7:00pm. At the conclusion of the three-day celebration marking 150 years since her birth, a headstone will be dedicated at her gravesite in Grace Cemetery (at the confluence of Broad Street and Elmwood Ave) on June 9 at 5:00pm.
