ACT Presents THE DREAM
ACT is collaborating with Shiloh Community Development, Inc to celebrate Black History Month this February. One of the many events happening is a co-production of The Dream - an original play by ACT Outreach Coordinator Matt Fernandez.

The characters:

Abraham Lincoln
Booker T. Washington
William Seward
Thomas Jefferson
Malcolm X Joseph A. McNiel (student and veteran who staged sit-ins)
Vivian Malone (first black student admitted to the University of Alabama)

President Lyndon B. Johnson
Marlon Brando
Charlton Heston
Alabama Governor George Wallace
Mississippi Mayor Johnny Dupree
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice

And many more...
