| Description: | Warriors Don't Cry is a powerful one-woman play inspired by the award-winning memoir of the same title by Dr. Melba Pattillo Beals. Starring Almeria Campbell, Warriors Don't Cry recounts the courageous story of fifteen-year-old Melba, who endures violence and discrimination as she and eight other African-American students integrate Central High School. In 1957, Melba and her fellow studentwarriors--known as the Little Rock Nine--captured the world's attention as they struggled and triumphed in pursuit of equal education. Themes of fear and courage, isolation and community, education, history, the family and the nation all come alive through Campbell's compelling portrayal of 21 characters. Contains strong language.
