The vision of Dale Ricardo Shields is to preserve history about African American and artist of color on the Facebook website Black Theatre / African American Voices on the Internet for everyone to acknowledge, enjoy and learn past and present history.

“The important thing is to share – get the inspiration out to others.  We never know when the slightest thing might inspire someone else to do the things that are in their heart.  I’d like to see everyone dance their own unique dance with life.”  – Tomaca
