  ACTIVITY: THEATRE: "For Colored Girls Who Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf"
  LOCATION: UW Ethnic Cultural Theatre
  DESCRIPTION: 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.

The level of committment is entirely up to you---as much or as little time as you can provide is greatly needed. As a campus community, we must show that the UW remains committed to providing access to education for ALL members of our society, rather than only catering to the needs of the elite. Opening our campus doors to underserved minority and disadvantaged studnets for even a day is one step in the right direction--and this cannot happen without the cohesive efforts of UW students, faculty, community members, and many others.

Owens Wiwa, a medical doctor and a human rights activist, escaped from Nigeria a few days after his brother's execution. As a political activist, Dr. Wiwa has documented human rights abuses perpetrated upon the Ogoni by the Nigerian Army, as well as environmentally-related diseases among the Ogoni. In 1990, he established two private rural health centers to meet the needs of the Ogoni people. In so doing, he treated hundreds of Ogoni men, women and children injured as a result of ongoing military repression in Ogoni. He is a member of the Steering Committee of MOSOP and has held other posts in the Ogoni movement. Dr. Wiwa is a spirited warrior and an inspiration to all who love and cherish freedom. His unbroken will is a guiding light to people in the Motherland and abroad.
