Students from a Washington, D.C. area school recently viewed “Every Tongue Confess,” a play set in the backwater town of Boligee, Alabama during the summer of 1996 that uses biblical allegory to examine familial relationships during a wave of black church burnings.
After seeing the performance, six students shared their perspectives on race, tolerance and how to live in unity regardless of cultural differences. Video interviews with lead actress Phylicia Rashad and playwright Marcus Gardley accompany the students’ perspectives below.
