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.
