What's your favorite book?
When I was in Middle School, we put on the play:”The Color Purple”, and I played Celie. Here we were a group of inner city youth in Durham, N.C. We were the underdogs. Trying and wanting to make this play great. The book inspired most of us, Brian Johnson, played Mister, and went on to become the 7th President of Tuskegee University, Keisha Graham, she played Sophia, Oprah Winfrey’s character, she was my childhood best friend, and went on to become a Nurse.
A lot of us believed, and dreamed because of that book. Sure if you asked us at that time. We would have never in our wildest dreams thought we had the ability to put on, rumor has it “the very FIRST performance” of The Color Purple.
