the play
Two civil rights attorneys are suing the U.S. Justice Department for reparations on behalf of the descendants of slaves...
To help convince the mixed-race jury, it features "time-traveler, expert witnesses" portraying black history icons Harriet Tubman, Medgar Evers & Emmett Till. The story is punctuated by references to modern-day race-tinged injustices.
Chad Lawson Cooper, the play's Producer, said the multi-racial cast digs deep in exploring America's tumultuous history of slavery, racial injustice, the Civil Rights Movement and current politics. Despite addressing past and modern issues of race, the play is suitable for all ages. The goal is to get people to think about the lasting vestiges of slavery and the country's evolving racial issues, including police-involved shootings.
