That launched a journey of self-discovery and an adventure that became the basis for a one-man show called “The Fula from America: An African Journey," which Brown performs tonight at <a href="http://www.themusichall.org/">The Music Hall </a>in Portsmouth. It’s a fund-raising event for Portsmouth’s <a href="http://www.africanburyinggroundnh.org/abgmp-statusreport.pdf">African Burying Ground</a>, and will be followed by a candelight procession to the site where the design for a memorial will be unveiled.
