Peace Kevin J. Smith, James L. Glasco, J. Anthony Jones
Cast from Our Young Black Men Are Dying And No One Se;ems to Care
Performance sends message
By Andrew Zubik
Entertainment Editor
Three men in black, one stage and
aChoreopoem by James H. Chapman
all reveal what many already know,
but at the same time this performance
educates those who don't understand
the frustration of what the young black
male encounters in the 90's.
"Our Young Black Men Are Dy-
ing And No One Seems To Care" not
only inspires, but sends a message to
all who are concerned about the is-
sues that plague African-Americans
today: black on black crime, drug
addiction, suicide, domestic violence
and a war in the inner-city ghettos.
Having had no previous acting
experience, the cast; Kevin J Smith,
J. Anthony Jones and James L. Glasco
put on an impressive performance.
Exploding onto the stage, enacting a
robbery and asking the audience to
hand over their valuables, the cast of
Chapman's poem all become sym-
bols representing everything the Af-
rican-American has symbolized since
the birth of America.
At midpoint in the performance
silence is observed for those who
have been lost and names of these
people are written down and an-
nounced towards the end of the per-
formance.
The show is based.onChapman's ,
personal experience, along with many i
others, as a homeless person living
on the streets of Houston. After con-
templating suicide, he found writing
to be an emotional outlet that helped
him deal with his situation. The result
would eventually make him one of
todays most acclaimed poets.
In 1988, Chapman founded a
non-profit organization called Liv-
ing the Dream Inc. The organization
focuses on social issues through the-
atrical performances such as "Our
Young Black Men Are Dying..."
Feature Entertainers from Dublin, Ireland for the festival: The Clancy
