She is also the author of Lift Every Voice; The Tyranny of the Majority; Whos Qualified?; and The Miners Canary. Attorney Guinier's speech is entitled "Lift Every Voice."

 

The following titles are available at the NCSU Catalyst Bookstore: Lift Every Voice; Who's Qualified?; and The Miners Canary. Books will be on sale prior to and following the event. A book signing will be held in the Stewart Theatre lobby immediately following the program.

The 2010 MLK Jr. Commemorative programs are co-sponsored by the Union Activities Board Black Students Union and the Eta Omicron Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated. We hope you can join us to celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Cockeyed characters in a fractured fairy tale delight audiences in this favorite musical. The Baker and his Wife are cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door. Breaking the spell requires embarking on a quest for special objects. In the first act, we meet Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Prince Charming, Rapunzel and Jack (of beanstalk fame), but not like we remember them from our childhood. By the end of Act One, wishes have been granted, but Act Two brings the consequences of their actions. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy in the style of “The Princess Bride” becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. By special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
