Now Let Me Fly

The everyday heroes of Brown v Board come alive...



The Brown v. Board of Education case jump-started the civil rights movement by overturning the "separate but equal" law of the land. Years before the landmark Supreme Court case, brave citizens held grassroots meetings across the nation in homes, schools, church basements, and barbershops. In honor of their courage, Now Let Me Fly brings to life the unsung heroes and heroines who set the stage for legal action. Marcia Cebulska's inspiring, educational, and entertaining play is based on oral histories and personal interviews with the real people involved in the struggle leading to Brown v. Board.
