This play addresses many issues in regard to the Civil Rights era and Mrs. Kings’ life fighting injustice with her husband, especially during the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the famed March on Washington D.C. More importantly, it delves into the opinions many of the elders in the Black community that our young people have an emotional disconnect to the movement and do not understand the importance of the freedoms they have today. With Ebenezer Baptist Church as a backdrop, the play also brings relevance to the church and the Black community.
