Written by Miranda Austen ADEkoje and directed with passion, it spotlights trailblazers like Ida B. Wells and Anna Julia Cooper, revealing their personal struggles and differing approaches to justice. Set against the backdrop of post-slavery America, the play blends historical depth with modern music—Doja Cat, Beyoncé—to bridge past and present. Originally slated for a National Park Service program, it was saved by Company One, proving theater’s power to ignite dialogue and connection. More than a history lesson, it’s a call to unity, reminding us that shared stories—especially those of resilience and resistance—are vital in today’s fractured world.
