Lyceum Event: American Apartheid

You are invited to attend and bring your classes to an exciting
Black History Month Lyceum event:

A multimedia staged reading of the play “

• American Apartheid”
• Thursday, Feb. 22, 9:30 a.m.
• Clarkston Campus Jim Cherry Learning Resource Center Auditorium (Room 1100)
• The play will end at 10:45 and a reception will follow.
  

Written by Wade Marbaugh and Paul Hudson, “American Apartheid” is the tale
of a volatile love triangle between a mixed-race woman passing as white, her
black fiancé and her new white love interest. It all unravels during the
Atlanta race riot of 1906. The play connects America’'s Jim Crow era with
today’'s repressive, violent political movements and states the need to end
all forms of apartheid for all humanity.

Movie Viewing: "Black Sorority Project: The Exodus"

"The Exodus" chronicles the life and times of twenty-two women at Howard
University, who as students, changed the course of American history forever.
By defying the barriers of race and sex, they courageously joined the
Women's Suffrage March and formed a new sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, that
grew to become one of the nation's most formidable women's organizations.
The timeless voice of Tamara Tunie (Law & Order: SVU, As The World Turns)
transports you back in time on a photographic journey into the world of
these Howard co-eds in the infancy of their burgeoning group, in the year
1913.
