TONIGHT-- "The People of Clarendon County"

We proudly present, free to the public

"The People of Clarendon County--a play by Ossie Davis"

Based on the book edited by journalist and Aesthetic Realism Associate Alice Bernstein

Hear Alice Bernstein tell of conversations with actor/activist Ossie Davis and uncovering his 1955 Civil Rights play celebrating one of the great lawsuits in American history, and how, with his encouragement, it is performed in relation to the education that can end racism: Aesthetic Realism, founded by the great philosopher, Eli Siegel.

See “The People of Clarendon County,” about black parents who risked death to fight for “equal” education, leading to the historic Supreme Court school desegregation ruling, Brown v. Board of Education—performed by Tulane’s Erin Sanders, Erica Zacharie, W.B. Whitted␣␣and Loyola's Victor Jones

Experience the Aesthetic Realism Teaching Method as educator, Monique Michael (born in Haiti) gives an interactive first grade lesson on diversity in birds and people. See why this method brings out every child’s true intelligence and ends prejudice in the classroom.
