Unrelenting Voices Read-In
A Celebration of Freedom, Justice,
Mandela and More
On Thursday
January 8, 2015 the McCarter Theatre Center for Education held a “read –in”
event. Approximately 50 people gathered
at the newly renovated Trenton Free Public Library for this event. The group was a cross section of Trentonians
past & present, students and “seasoned” individuals with multiple languages
and ethnic backgrounds represented.
The mission statement for the 80 plus year old Princeton, NJ Theater Company
states “McCarter’s education and engagement programs are designed to facilitate
discovery, develop agency, and build community.”
The multi-cultural/multi generational readers passionately
read the pre-chosen pieces. The Free
Trenton Library provided a wonderful space for the event. The upgrades to the facility are well
appointed and well crafted.
I am thankful to have been chosen as a reader of passages by
Desmond Tutu and Cornell West. During
the closing comments I shared the emotions I felt from reading and hearing
others read the numerous passages and left with this statement, “Well done to
all involved, I hope, pray, expect and encourage US to act on the hearings from
this event.
