As the United States of America celebrates the historical inauguration of President Barack Obama and also begins the celebration of Black History Month, Theatre at the Center's Theatre for Young Audiences will present the Theatreworks USA production of The Color of Justice, a play inspired by events and people surrounding the civil rights case of Brown v. Board of Education. This children's show will provide audiences with a fictional tale of real life events which will help audiences remember just how far the United States has come since the 1950's. Recognized for bringing exciting, fun and educational productions, The Color of Justice will run February 2 through February 6 at 1040 Ridge Road, Munster, Indiana. The Color of Justice is the tale of a courageous young girl and a great warrior for justice and the battle for equal rights. It is the story of America in the 1950's, a time of segregated restaurants and schools, separate restrooms and drinking fountains for 'colored' and 'whites'. It was also a time when 'separate but equal' was upheld by the United States Supreme Court. Eight year old Grace Carter does not understand why her 'colored' school has to settle for hand-me-downs from 'white' schools. Most importantly, she and her family don't want to be treated like a 'special' group of people. The Color of Justice is the tale of Grace Carter's battle; a battle against bigots, against fearful friends and neighbors and a battle for her safety and her home.
