Actors use only scripts and vocal expression to tell the story. The 35-minute presentation includes excerpts from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Langston Hughes, Harriet Tubman, Dr. Maya Angelou, Robert Smalls, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Henry Bibb. The play is directed by ALPLM actor Reggie Guyton.
