‘Letters From Anne and Martin’

Anne Frank and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. never met, but they both knew what it was like to be denied freedom, to endure constant danger and to believe passionately in ideals that seemed elusive in the times they lived in. This play, compiled by Hannah Vaughn, draws directly on Frank’s diary and on Dr. King’s “Letter From a Birmingham Jail,” illustrating the parallels in their lives. Recommended for children over 10, the performance will be followed by a discussion with the cast and with Spirit Trickey, a community activist who will talk about her mother, Minnijean Brown Trickey, who was one of the nine students involved in the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School in 1957.
