This two-person dialogue explores the lived experiences of two Southerners who grew up in the Deep South during a time of racial segregation. One participant grew up in a wealthy suburb of Birmingham; the other grew up in a rural south Georgia town. Their conversation will explore various topics from each person’s worldview and experiences through the years. \nThis inside look at the experiences of these two individuals will leave you with a broadened perspective of how worldviews are shaped as they explore the world of rich\, poor\, white\, black\, male\, female\, music\, dance and myriad other topics. You may feel connected\, curious\, uncomfortable\, surprised\, inspired or hopeful. Whatever emotion you feel\, you will be moved by their honest responses. As we strive to improve conversations about race and difference in our community\, what better way to do so than to invite you to listen in and share your thoughts about their conversation over dinner. \nScholars have found that friendships are a fitting space to have these conversations. We are glad that we are surrounded by friends as we explore the nuances of dialogue cross culturally through the decades with the twists and turns that have occurred in the lives of these two individuals. Who knows what we might learn? \nHope to see you there!

As the co-founder and artistic director of the Children’s Theater Company in New York\, Mansuri believes the theater is a unifier for people of all backgrounds to learn about one another. \n“We believe theater is itself an empathy-building tool of all of us looking into the lives that we’ve never lived\,” Mansuri said. “Looking through that small window into another person’s life and maybe having a new view about it.” She had trouble finding a story where Black and white people came together to make sacrifices for one another. That is until she came across a book about Henry “Box” Brown\, a 19th-century slave who escaped to freedom by mailing himself in a wooden crate from Virginia to abolitionists in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania. \nIn 2008\, Mansuri and the Children’s Theater Company put pen to paper and created “Henry Box Brown: A Musical Journey.” Now\, the show will be presented at 1 and 7 p.m. June 17 and 18 at the Jean & Paul Amos Performance Studio at Pensacola State College. The play is sponsored by the Equity Project Alliance\, a collective of Escambia County citizens working to create a more equitable and diverse community.

Their attendance at the school was a test of Brown v. Board of Education\, a landmark 1954 Supreme Court ruling that declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional. On September 4\, 1957\, the first day of classes at Central High\, Governor Orval Faubus called in the Arkansas National Guard to block the Black students’ entry into the high school. Later that month\, President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent in federal troops to escort the Little Rock Nine into the school. It drew national attention to the civil rights movement. \nThe Little Rock Nine arrived for the first day of school at Central High on September 4\, 1957. Eight arrived together\, driven by Arkansas NAACP member Daisy Bates. \nElizabeth Eckford’s family\, however\, did not have a telephone\, and Bates could not reach her to let her know of the carpool plans. Therefore\, Eckford arrived alone. \nThe Arkansas National Guard\, under orders of Governor Faubus\, prevented any of the Little Rock Nine from entering the doors of Central High. One of the most enduring images from this day is a photograph of Eckford\, alone with a notebook in her hand\, stoically approaching the school as a crowd of hostile and screaming white students and adults surround her. \nEckford later recalled that one of the women spat on her. The image was printed and broadcast widely in the United States and abroad\, bringing the Little Rock controversy to national and international attention.
