Both performances will be followed by a panel discussion about voting rights in America.

 

PANELISTS

• Senator Merika Coleman, Alabama’s 19th District 

• John Archibald, Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist 

• Faya Rose Touré, Civil rights attorney and founder of the Voting Rights Museum and Institute in Selma, AL 

• John Paul Taylor, Voting Rights Advocate with the Advancement Project in D.C.

• Melanie van Betten Jeffcoat, Playwright

 

WHAT IS THE PLAY ABOUT?
An ambitious black janitor and activist in 1902 Alabama is stripped of his hard won right to vote and decides to fight back. With the help of Booker T. Washington and a hot tempered New York black attorney determined to bring justice to the south, the three of them launch a historic legal battle that pits them directly against the established political powerhouse and the KKK.
