The SUNY Broome Theater program will present “Stories of African-American Valor” as its very first “Speak-Out Project” during Common Hour from 11 to 11:45 a.m. Thursday, March 22, in the Angelo Zuccolo Little Theatre.
Find out about famous African-American heroes such as Frederick Douglass, Muhammad Ali, Maya Angelou, Sojourner Truth, Jackie Robinson and others. The centerpiece of the Common Hour is a staged reading of the Rosa Parks incident on the bus in 1955 that made her a Civil Rights heroine.
Don’t miss this important Common Hour, which will begin at 11 a.m. sharp! The theater is located in the Student Center.
Rosa Parks sits in the front of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1956 after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled segregation illegal on the city’s bus system. Behind Parks is Nicholas C. Chriss, a UPI reporter covering the event.
