The Rescue Trial

This Juneteenth, I am performing in a reading of a new play, The Rescue Trial.

The story is about Rosetta Douglass, daughter of Fredrick Douglass, and her trip to Boston to write about local freedom fighter Lewis Hayden.

I play Lewis Hayden, on trial for rescuing a Black American who was going to be deported from Massachusetts to be re-enslaved in the South.

The reading will be over Zoom, June 19, 2025 at 4pm (PDT). You can find out more and register to attend on the Calling Up Justice website.

If you missed the live performance, you can watch the replay on YouTube.
