Join special guest Dr. Bernard LaFayette, Jr., Freedom Rider, Kevin Long, Director, Jeremy Haynes, Harper College Student playing the leading role of Bowzie Brandon, and Dorothy Walker, Site Director of the Freedom Rides Museum in Alabama, as we explore the ideas and issues raised in Harper’s upcoming production of Too Heavy For Your Pocket by Jireh Breon Holder. Hear Dr. LaFayette, Civil Rights Movement activist, minister, educator, lecturer, and an authority on the strategy of Nonviolent Social Change, share the experiences he faced as he fought to integrate public buses. We will ignite discussion, bring the play’s concerns into sharp focus, discuss inspiration, determination, process, and encourage you to think beyond the stage.
