    Comedian, author and speaker Darryl Littleton, also known as D'Militant, brings his bold, dynamic and motivational presentation, Black Comedians on Black Comedy. The show celebrates African-American strength and perseverance and explores how comedy has helped shape the heritage and culture. Blacks have endured slavery, the Great Depression and the Civil Rights Movement thanks to a sense of humor and a spirit of survival. That same spirit is the way to get through these current trying times.
