Bessie Smith History Alive! Performance
September 21 at 6:00 pm
As the most popular female blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s, Smith was the highest-paid Black performer of her day. Known as the “Empress of the Blues” by virtue of her forceful vocal delivery and command of the genre, her singing displayed a soulfully phrased, boldly delivered grasp of the blues. In addition, she was an all-around entertainer who danced, acted and performed comedy routines with her touring company. She was a staple of the “Chitlin’ Circuit” and throughout the Jim Crow South, and many of her tunes have been covered by various artists through the decades.
Listen to Bessie, portrayed by Doris Fields, speak and sing about her life and join the conversation with character and actress to learn more about this remarkable historic figure. This performance is a program of the West Virginia Humanities Council, co-hosted by the Great Bend Museum and Main Street Ripley. Admission is free.

Known as the “Mother of Social Security,” Perkins’ legacy lives on through child labor laws, unemployment insurance, minimum wage, the 40-hour work week, worker’s compensation, and workplace safety laws.
As the first female Cabinet member and U.S. Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins had a far-reaching, lasting impact on American workers’ lives, and helped pave the way for women to enter the male-dominated world of national politics. Perkins started out as a young social reformer in New York City but embarked on a more ambitious quest for change after witnessing the horrific Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911, which killed nearly 150 workers. As a member of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Cabinet in the 1930s and 1940s, Perkins relentlessly fought for and facilitated many of the New Deal programs which helped the nation weather the Great Depression.
Come watch a first-person performance and join the conversation with the character and actor about Mrs. Perkins' life. This event is a program of the West Virginia Humanities Council, co-hosted by Main Street Ripley and its Historic Alpine Theatre.
