Details: Notes from the field-originally performed as a One-Person play-portrays a host of real-life figures who have witnessed, experienced and fought the system that pushes students of color out of the classroom and into prisons. (As Smith put it in a recent interview: "stuff that for middle-class kids or rich kids, it'd be considered mischief; for poor kids, it's really that road to prison.") we are introduced to these figures one by one: sherrilyn iffil, President of the naacp; rev. Jamal Harrison Bryant, who spoke at the funeral of Freddie Gray; niya Kenny, a high school student who was arrested for defending a classmate against a Teacher's overzealous discipline; Bree new some, the activist who made headlines when she removed the Confederate flag from the state house grounds of South Carolina; and many others. Taken together, these voices bear powerful witness to a great injustice of our time-and inspire us with their accounts of perseverance, resistance and progress.
