How are human rights affected by class and race?
The International
Human Rights Day Committee
invites you to a
discussion of
“Class and Race: What Happens When the ‘Have-nots’ Become ‘Haves’?”
through a Dramatic Reading of
Palmer Park
written by Joanna McClellandGlass
Glass’ acclaimed play helps us
understand our situation in depth, with heart as well as mind. Looking at
human rights through the lens of drama builds on our year of talking about race
and community.
Bring your friends, neighbors, faith
group, and colleagues. Come, see, question the actors, the director, and
one another—and then explore where you can make a difference in solving
class/race conflicts here in Rochester!
All of us working together as community CAN
make a difference. Please come!
Free, and open to the public. Wheelchair accessible. Looped.

The New Jim
Crow by Dr.
Alexander demonstrates how the human rights of millions of African Americans
(as well as many Latinos and poor whites) have been systematically violated by
the so-called “War on Drugs.” Mass incarceration turns them into felons, disenfranchising and
impoverishing them in a way not seen since the days of the old “Jim Crow.”
During 2013
we will be coordinating with the efforts of other Rochester groups including
the Rochester Public Library, Action for a Better Community, Facing
Race=Embracing Equity (FREE formerly RISE), Judicial Process Commission, Moving
Beyond Racism and Metro Justice to call attention to and plan action to
overcome the continuing, unacceptable racist policies that prevent people of
color from full participation in our society.
