The Emancipator Presents: Historically Black Phrases Live!

For Juneteenth 2024, The Emancipator proudly presented the Boston stop of Historically Black Phrases Live!, a national touring game show experience based on the NAACP Image Award-winning book, “Historically Black Phrases: From ‘I Ain’t One Of Your Lil’ Friends’ to ‘Who All Gon’ Be There?’.” Hosted by co-authors jarrett hill and Tre’vell Anderson, HBP Live! is the game show you didn’t know you needed. The show features three notable contestants from the Boston area competing in three rounds of gameplay rooted in trivia about Black culture. The highest-scoring contestant advances to a final round in which they’re tested on all things Boo Boo The Fool — and other Historically Black Phrases! Audience members got a chance to play for prizes, too.
