Congo Square ensemble member and African American Museum of Performing Arts Executive Director TaRon Patton directs and co-produces The Billboard, an in-depth look at reproductive rights set at a fictional womens clinic in Chicagos Englewood neighborhood, where politicians weaponize womens bodily autonomy to forward their careers. When City Council candidate Demetrius Drew unveils a billboard saying Abortion is genocide the most dangerous place for a Black child is his mothers womb, Tanya Grays Black Womens Health Initiative responds with its own sign to underscore that abortion is more than merely pro-life or pro-choice. Her billboard says Black women have the right to make decisions for their families and their bodies. Abortion is self-care. #TrustBlackWomen.
