The second installment of our Alliance Theatre ALLIANCE(s): In Action partnership features an interactive reading of Ashley Bryan's Freedom Over Me. This children's book brings to life the story of 11 slaves and their dreams through imaginative interpretations of slave auction and plantation estate documents. This special reading by the Alliance Theatre Palefsky Collision Project highlights the stark contrast between the monetary value placed on a slave's life and the priceless value of life experiences and dreams.
