We are in Lincoln Theater in this theater. This was the only place where black folks could calm and be entertained in the theater because they couldnt go downtown. They would come right here. This theater was nearly demolished by a wrecking bull, almost torn down but we saved it renovated it and its now one of the jewels of the city of columbus. History tonight.
