Students Explore Race and Class Through Conversations, Performance

Writing Out Loud, an academically-based community service course designed by Associate Professor of English Herman Beavers, and theater director and lecturer Suzana Berger, C’02, hosted The Ground on Which We Stand, an end-of-the-semester public performance, on December 14. 

Writing Out Loud encouraged students to explore topics like race and class through conversations with members of the West Philadelphia Cultural Alliance and through the works of August Wilson. This served as the inspiration for the class’ monologues, which were performed during The Ground on Which We Stand.
