Freedom of Expression: The Never-Ending Fight
128 Pierrepont Street at Brooklyn Historical Society
Time: 6:30pm – 8pm
Price: $5; FREE/members
As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo wrote, “Freedom of expression is…the indispensable condition of nearly every other form of freedom.” Two titans in this fight, Ira Glasser, head of the American Civil Liberties Union from 1978 to 2001, and Norman Siegel, director of the New York Civil Liberties Union from 1985 to 2000, reflect on the history and ongoing struggle, and reminisce about their shared Brooklyn roots. Moderated by Alyssa Katz, editorial board member of the New York Daily News.
Dael Orlandersmith’s Yellowman
1368 Fulton Street at Billie Holiday Theatre, Inc.
Time: 7pm – 9pm
Price: $25
In this play, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, Alma and Eugene have known each other since they were young children. As their childhood connection matures into love, Alma struggles to free herself from her mother’s poverty and alcoholism, while Eugene must contend with the legacy of being “yellow”—lighter-skinned than his brutal and unforgiving father. This seminal work in the american theater canon is a powerful examination of the intraracial tensions that impact communities and individual lives.
