SUMMARY:Henry Box Brown: A Musical Journey
DESCRIPTION:A MAN ESCAPED SLAVERY BY MAILING HIMSELF TO FREEDOM.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				HIS STORY MADE ITS WAY TO PENSACOLA..\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				THIS PRODUCTION WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE FOLLOWING:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Equity Project Alliance • National Endowment of the Arts • New York State Council of the Arts • New York University Office of Governance & Community Affairs • Office of Baha’i Schools & Education • WSRE PBS • Baptist Health Care • McDonald’s • Navy Federal Credit Union • Regions Bank\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				and\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Julian and Kim MacQueen • Manocherian Family Foundation • Posner-Wallace Foundation • Jackie Eghrari Sabet – Hamid Samandari/McKinsey Consulting • The Wayfarer Foundation • Rainbow Pediatrics\, Dr. Gina Tucker\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n					\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				At a time of social upheaval\, Mehr Mansuri wanted to create a play that could help move the country forward into a better future.  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.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Bob Zellner: Civil Rights Activist
DESCRIPTION:During this event\, Bob Zellner recalled the victories\, struggles & heartbreaks he experienced firsthand as an active civil rights leader in the 1960s.\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Gateway Church of Christ\n445 Creighton Rd\, Pensacola\, FL 32504\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				The Equity Project Alliance was honored to welcome Bob Zellner\, an active leader in the Civil Rights Movement from the 1960s to today. The son and grandson of Ku Klux Klan members\, he risked his life – and nearly lost it – many times in the fight to achieve The Second Emancipation. \nAs an organizer of The Freedom Rides of 1961 and the first white southerner to serve as field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)\, he worked alongside Ella Baker\, Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, John Lewis\, Rosa Parks\, Diane Nash\, Julian Bond\, Fannie Lou Hamer\, and many other civil rights leaders. \nFamous for battles with the KKK\, segregationist lynch mobs\, and violent police\, he is now one of the key individuals that a new generation turns to with questions on the racial\, historical\, and cultural assumptions on which they were raised\, as they ask themselves\, “What is my place in this struggle?” \n			\n				Reserve A Spot

SUMMARY:An Evening with Elizabeth Eckford\, Civil Rights Icon
DESCRIPTION:The Equity Project Alliance\, in partnership with the Delta Iota Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority\, Inc.\, and the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast\, was honored to welcome Civil Rights Icon\, Elizabeth Eckford to Pensacola on October 6\, 2022\, to discuss her experience as one of nine black students who desegregated Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957. \nThe Little Rock Nine were a group of nine Black students who enrolled at formerly all-white Central High School in Little Rock\, Arkansas\, in September 1957. 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.
