Conceived and directed by Ron Himes, the Founder and Producing Director of The Black Rep, "Crossin' Over" invites the audience to witness a spiritual journey that chronicles the history of Africans in America through song, and traces the connection between your contemporary house of worship back to the times of capture.  Join Ron Himes history professors at Washington University as they discuss the history of the African-American experience and the relationship between that experience and gospel music.  Find out how Ron conceived the show, selected the music and created the show's structure as you ask your questions.
