About this event

On October 17-18 at 6:00 pm and October 19-20 at 3:00 pm, Resilience Productions is presenting a play entitled From Truth to Justice: The Price We Paid for the Ballot at the Monroe County History Center. This original play tells the story of the contentious relationship between the Black and White suffrage movement. This thought-provoking performance will be followed by a reception and talkback, discussing the challenges we faced then and now in accessing the ballot. Tickets are $20, available at the door.

This story is a part of everyone's voting story, and it needs to be told. Resilience Productions kindly invited League members to participate in the follow-up discussion, and we will be doing that at the performance on the 19th. We're looking forward to the play and the discussion and encourage members and anyone else to take this opportunity to learn about this part of our voting history that is still reverberating today. 

Performances sell out quickly. To purchase tickets, go to https://monroehistory.org/; click on October, search for Resilience Productions, select the preferred performance, and follow the instructions to purchase your ticket(s), or call the Monroe County History Center at 812-332-2517.
