I continue to be amazed by such stories of ordinary women whose brave choices made such a huge difference in the world. I always wonder if I would have been brave enough to make their choices to stand up for themselves and the rest of us. And then I think, "who are the women who are doing that now, and am I doing enough to support them?" I don't think they are easily identifiable, though, because, most of the time, I don't think you can see at the time that you are participating in something that history will view as hugely important; you're just doing what your heart tells you is the right thing to do in the moment. And that's what we're all supposed to be doing.

Anyway (rumination aside), Vickie Washington (who directed our reading and who is starring alongside Tyne Daly in our upcoming reading of OIL!) just sent me a note about something cool coming up at the 6th Floor Museum that many of us who were touched by WAITING TO BE INVITED might be interested in knowing about. On Wednesday, June 11, at 7 p.m., The Reverend Earl Allen and Clarence Broadnax will tell the story of the 28-day-long protest they helped organize in 1964 at the downtown Piccadilly Cafeteria. It's called "28 Days at the Piccadilly: A Civil Rights Demonstration" and it is being put on to mark the 45th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s televised address on civil rights.

The doors will open at 6:30pm, and the cost is $5. If anyone wants to go, you should reserve a seat by emailing programs@jfk.org. It sounds like a really good follow-up to WAITING TO BE INVITED!

Bye for now,
Brandi
