[NEohioPAL] Equality Productions' BlackLivesMatter monologue

[Richard Zenk]

The first monologue, ANOTHER KIND OF CANCER, is beautifully written by
Peter Anthony Fields and masterfully performed by Ryan Gregory Thurman. A
young man overhears a conversation between two people and attempts to
enlighten them as to why Black Lives Matter.

At Facing History and Ourselves, we believe the bigotry and hate that we
witness today are the legacy of brutal injustices of the past. Facing our
collective history and how it informs our attitudes and behaviors allows us
to choose a world of equity and justice. Facing History’s resources address
racism, antisemitism, and prejudice at pivotal moments in history; we help
students connect choices made in the past to those they will confront in
their own lives. Through our partnership with educators around the world,
Facing History and Ourselves reaches millions of students in thousands of
classrooms every year.


Peter Anthony Fields has written numerous stage plays which have been read
or performed in Ohio, Texas, Wisconsin, and London, U.K.  His play, "About
Michael", was awarded the second place Audience Appreciation Award at the
