DATE: February 2, 2003 TIME: various
ACTIVITY: THEATRE: "For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf" LOCATION: UW Ethnic Cultural Theatre
January 16th - February 2nd, For Colored Girls...-a choreopoem by Ntozake Shange-was the first show on Broadway to ever boast an all-Black female cast and is a true American classic that revolutionized the theatre by expanding the boundaries of tradition and form. Weaving together poetry, rhythm, music, dance, and drama in a theatrical collage, this piece declares the vibrant passions, tribulations, triumphs and color of growing into womanhood; it explores the experience of African-American women and it celebrates the resilience of the soul. There's poetry in motion with the song and the dance-the stories they tell challenge, provoke and inspire. Don't miss this opportunity to see this classic work. CONTACT NAME: Melissa Dow

DESCRIPTION: SThis documentary is Vivien Thomas's bittersweet story: the poignant story of a black man and a white man who came together during racially turbulent times to change medical history and leave the world a lifesaving legacy.

We see, not just the painful cost to Thomas personally, but what all of society loses when we deny access and opportunity to an entire group of people.
