"#Shakespeare makes you take a hard look at yourself... He makes you have hard talks... You can hide it in the literature but really, you can relate it to things that are happening today... The pressure isn’t on because it’s not really affecting YOU—but it is.”

I am so grateful to have been able to spend the past five years of my life writing about this man’s legacy. He was a giant of #CivilRights law, a champion of equal justice, and a friend. https://t.co/NwGzS1jg1P
“Johnson says she wants to learn what the teens' passions and challenges are and to help them cultivate their passions in a productive way.”

“Several of the inmates said the play allowed them to feel human again. They marveled at being allowed to shake hands with the state officials, lawyers and arts advocates who attended the show. “

“It validates who you are when people mirror who you are, because it shows you’re not the exception—the pariah. You’re not alone. You’re human. You might be damaged a little bit, but you’re human.”
