suppression; and a manifesto by anonymous
members of the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee decrying the
poor treatment of women in the civil
rights movement.
The event will also feature a trio of
younger black women giving a modern
response to those readings, with
a re-imagined “to be or not to be”
speech highlighting black female tropes,
a poem discussing the #MeToo movement,
and a monologue — performed by
Harrison — about Juneteenth, the holiday
celebrating the abolition of slavery
across the United States.
A final discussion between the performers
and the audience will close out
the evening, and hopefully help build
links among the crowd, said Harrison.
“Jonathan and I were interested in
an inter-generational conversation, and
we wanted to bring that into the audience,”
she said. “There are going to be
a lot of age ranges in the audience, and
hopefully this post-show conversation
will get them to talk to each other and
realize that we do need to have this link
across time.”
