Don't Speak My Mother's Name in Vain

Reanae McNeal will perform a one-woman play, Don’t Speak My Mother’s Name in Vain, on Monday, March 22, in the Emerson Suites, Phillips Hall. The 8:00 p.m. performance is free and open to the public. McNeal uses character sketches, dance, and spiritual/blues songs to address how racism, sexism, and classism have influenced the rape/sexual assault of African American women, historically and today. She also portrays the survival mechanisms these women use to cope with their experiences.
