Extra Credit: Exceptional Women in August Wilson's Plays

"In celebration of "Women's History Month," there will be a stimulating discussion on "The Exceptional Women in August Wilson's Plays." The program will be led by The August Wilson Society Multi-Disciplinary Class. Distinguished panelists include Dr. Sandra Shannon (Director), Professor Kim James Bey, Dr. Almez Zewde, Dr. Gregory Carr, Dr Mbye Cham, Dr. Elizabeth Clark-Lewis, Dr. Dana Williams, Dr. Alonzo Crawford, Dr. Jules Harrell, Dr. Terry Adams-Fuller, Dr. Tony Randolph, Professor Joe Selmon, and Celia C. Daniel (Embedded Librarian). The event is presented by the Africana Film/Discussion Series (Reference Department/Founders Library)"
I really enjoyed seeing scences and listening to several monologues by August Wilson because they were absolutely inspiring and beautiful pieces about the struggle and plight of African American people. I would love to attend another event similar to this one because it allowed for my eyes to be opened and focused on such important historical struggles.
