A musical play that portrays the struggles of young African American males is the featured event in the College's celebration of Black History Month during February.
Our Young Black Men Are Dying and Nobody Seems to Care by James Chapman will be performed on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in Memorial Chapel.
The performance is free and open to the public.
The play, which has received critical acclaim around the country, provides an insight into what is happening in the hearts and minds of young African American men and women.
“I want people to know that we are determined to survive,” said Chapman of his play. Using issues ranging from date rape to homelessness, Young Black Men offers a
message of hope and change often missing from the debate about the fate of African American men.
