This staged reading is a presentation of a play chosen via our Read to Relate programming.

In a small Southern town, a white man murders a black man, then throws his body in the weeds. With this act of violence, which is loosely based on the notorious 1955 killing of Emmett Till, James Baldwin launches an unsparing and at times agonizing probe of the wounds of race.

Written by: James Baldwin

Directed by: James Cook
