The T. Thomas Fortune Project Invites You to The Live People Speak Events.
These performances are designed to create discussion about issues that affect theday to day lives of people, from immigration, violence, racism to
gay rights and poverty. These are concerns that still plague this country and The People Speak serves as a rallying call for people to rise up and speak out.
Based on the documentary film “The People Speak” —itself adapted from
the late Howard Zinn’s book “A People’s History of the United States.”
The film is a showcase of history-making voices such as, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez and others performed by
notable actors and entertainers of our time.
