Historical Perspectives: Original Points of View from History
In this performance, the audience will see three original monologues or perspectives from history.
​
My grandmother, Cora Thorpe attended Roulhac High, a colored school in Chipley Florida.
​
Ruby Bridges was the first black student to attend William Frantz Elementary School and Elizabeth Eckford was one of the first black teenagers to attend Little Rock Central High School.
​
These monologues take us back into history, into the minds of these young women. Why was it so important to attend a good school? Was it worth it? Why is the Brown Vs? Board of Education decision so important?
Historical Perspective Workshop/
Residency
The optional workshop or residency allows students to create their own historical monologue using moments and people from history as their inspiration.
