Athens Vignettes: A Dialogue with the African American Community

Writer: Roshaunda McLean
Director: Freda Scott Giles
October 15-17 & 22-24

Join the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement at Athens Vignettes: A Dialogue with the African American Community for this theatrical event celebrating Black Atheninian history!

Playwright Roshaunda McLean has taken interviews with Athens community members and turned them into three scenes that express views from the African American community in Athens about the Baldwin Hall burial site, the loss of Linnentown and the relationship (or lack thereof) between the African American segment of town and the UGA gown. 

Each scene will be performed and then discussed with the audience.  There is hope that the community will feel listened to and heard, and that a new day of relationship is dawning.  Actors will come from the Town and Gown family and from the Athens community.
