DETROIT 67
DETROIT 67 | Dominique Morisseau
4 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
It's 1967 in Detroit. Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over more much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots. DETROIT '67 is presented in association with Classical Theatre of Harlem and the National Black Theatre.

#readsoullit Day 2 January Wrap-Up: These were the 3 books I started and finished in January. I also completed a few reads left over from 2016 that are not included. My #readsoullit reads that month were Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet by Ta-nehisi Coates and Brian Stelfreeze and Detroit '67 by Dominique Morisseau. Highly recommend Detroit' 67 a play where a brother and sister take in a wounded white woman during the Detroit Riots.

ptkpepe98 Ta-Nahisi Coates is going to speak next month. A friend and I are going. So excited to hear him in person. Should be a great evening. 7y

My first completed book during the #24in48 readathon and what a wonderful read it was. I'm so happy my theatre company is doing this piece. Set during the Detroit Riots of 1967 this play is about a brother and sister trying to get ahead in a world that is determined to keep them down. It's about people falling in love in a world that would rather tear them apart. It's about standing up to injustice and leaving your mark. Loved it!

This quote really spoke to me today. We'll never see change if we don't step out of our comfort zones and do something about the injustice in the world. #24in48
