InsightALT: She Who Dared

  • Manhattan School of Music 130 Claremont Avenue New York, NY, 10027 United States (map)

On Wednesday May 31st at 7:30pm, ALT presents a concert reading of SHE WHO DARED by Jasmine Barnes and Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton. Everyone has heard of Rosa Parks, but she wasn’t the first to refuse to move. SHE WHO DARED recenters the spotlight on the courageous women who helped desegregate the Montgomery bus system. These Civil Rights pioneers pay homage to the quiet struggle for justice that has often gone unknown - further amplifying the effects of the historic case of Browder V. Gayle. While often riotous and sometimes hilarious, these women demonstrate how everyday people have the power to challenge the systems around them and affect tangible change - if only they dare. The workshop concert will be conducted by Michael Ellis Ingram, and features  Alyson Cambridge, Flora Hawk, Indira Mahajan, Ronnita Miller, Jazmine Olwalia, Chabrelle Williams and Chrystal E. Williams; with pianist Djordje Steven Nesic.
