Why Black Lives Matter, Especially to Broadway

Playbill: “We are a chorus of voices. We are singing for our lives.” Kendall Thomas, the Nash Professor of Law and Director of the Center for the Study of Law and Culture at Columbia Law School, said it so simply.

Through song, poetry, spoken word and movement, they demanded change because, well, they had to.
