New Anti-Racism Resource

NEW PUBLICATION FROM THIRD WORLD PRESS:

The People of Clarendon County -- a play by Ossie Davis

"with Photographs and Historical Documents, and Essays on the Education that can End Racism." Edited by Alice Bernstein.

  • This short play by Ossie Davis is being published for the first time
  • It was performed just once, in 1955, with a cast that included Ossie Davis himself, Ruby Dee, and Sidney Poitier
  • Read about the courageous men and women of South Carolina whose work, along with that of others, led to the Supreme Court decision that overturned school segregation: Brown v. Board of Education
  • Edited by renowned writer and Aesthetic Realism associate Alice Bernstein
I believe the publication of The People of Clarendon County is a great step forward in the fight to end racism in America.
