The play, Flyin' West, written by Pearl Cleage, tells the story of a family of African-Americans who settled in Kansas with the hopes they could escape prejudice in a state that had rejected slavery. The play indirectly references Ida B. Wells encouraging her readers to head West to escape bigotry in Memphis.
The play continues it run on March 5-8, 2009, at Rhynsburger Theatre on the MU campus. 8 pm. I saw it last Thursday and recommend it to you. You could also read the play.
