Anne & Emmett

Tuesday, Oct. 20, 6-8:30 pm, RESPECT (an Annie E. Casey Foundation project) will present Anne & Emmett: An imaginary conversation between Anne Frank and Emmett Till.

"Anne & Emmett" is based on an imaginary conversation between Holocaust victim Anne Frank and Emmett Till, a Black teen whose murder sparked the American Civil Rights Movement, and explores how Jewish and African American communities have worked to achieve racial justice and equality. Following the performance of this groundbreaking play, a discussion will be led by playwright, Janet Langhart Cohen and representatives from the Black/Jewish Forum of Baltimore (BLEWS). This presentation is free and open to the public at the Baltimore School for the Arts, 712 Cathedral St., Baltimore, MD 21201. To RSVP, contact djohnson@aecf.org or call 410-685-7664.
