Tonight I saw the play Miss Evers' Boys in the SOLD OUT Ira Aldridge Theater. It was an AMAZING production. The actors were filled with such emotion that the crowd often butted in and answered their questions as if they were onstage. The atmosphere of opening night was amazing. The crowd was amped, the actors where hyped, and the room was packed.
The play I feel was yet another subtle hint from Howard of all the wrongs that whites have done to our race throughout history. The Government purposely let these men ride out the effects of Syphilis just to see what would happen. But, what I can't wrap my head around is the portrayal of Ms. Evers who was supposedly there to help them and look out for their well being.
I think that her actions are similar to millions around the world. Those who know something is wrong yet do nothing, then try and justify their actions later.
If something is wrong, why don't people speak up?
