The Haunting of Jim Crow

Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that declared racially segregated schools unconstitutional, The Haunting of Jim Crow examines the events surrounding that momentous decision by weaving together the personal stories and reflections of two key protagonists, civil rights attorney (later Supreme Court Justice) Thurgood Marshall and segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond. The result is a multi-layered, multi-dimensional, and intensely personal interpretation of history. The play was written by UCSD Theatre professor Allan Havis.

This was truly an amazing production. I sincerely hope that the production continues and spreads this powerful message on and on. And the actors were all strong and convincing, too.

Exceptional! I love the way the actors portrayed the roles. I, myself, was a stage actress and I personally admire actors for their innate gift of portrayal. It isn't easy.
