Racism continues to be a stumbling block in the middle of America's superhighway to equality and brotherhood. What's one way to battle such horror? Dramatize it.

Following the performance, a discussion is planned for the audience to ponder the pervasive nature of racism and how sticks and stones can break your bones and words sure can hurt sometimes. Refreshments will be served. Stop by the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall lounge at 7 p.m. to catch the show. For more information call 626-4855.
