SUMMARY:Music History: Dramatizing the African American Experience
DESCRIPTION:
 The Michigan Writers Series presents  "Music History: 
 Dramatizing the African American Experience" 
  at an  especially appropriate time. 
 The year 2013 marks the sesquicentennial of the 
 Emancipation Proclamation, while in 2014 it 
 will be sixty years since the Brown v. Board 
 of Education decision and fifty years since 
 the Civil Rights Act of 1964.\n
 \n
 Sandra Seaton's 
 play Music History, set on a Midwestern 
 college campus in 1963, is a dramatization of 
 the personal dilemmas and sacrifices of the 
 African American college students who fought 
 for civil rights.\n
 \n
 Students from the Department 
 of Theatre will give a dramatic reading 
 of selections from the play. Following the reading 
 scholars Pero Dagbovie, Tama Hamilton-Wray, 
 and Ken Prouty will discuss and demonstrate 
 the ways new technology will be used to explore 
 the meaning of the civil rights movement 
  and the African American experience  through 
 the innovative use of the MSUAA Knowledge 
 Network media platform for cultural engagement 
 and outreach. \n\n
