Judicial Complicity: Past to Present – A Community Panel – Greenville

Glow Lyric Theatre will present a community panel discussion on July 30th, 2022 at the Greenville Kroc Center about South Carolina’s history of racial terror and the contemporary societal impacts. SC Humanities supported this project with a Mini Grant.

The “Judicial Complicity: Past to Present” panel is free and open to the public and is connected to the premiere of the opera Stinney: An American Execution that tells the story of the 14-year-old African American from Alcolu, SC executed in 1944.

The community panel will feature Dr. Kendra Hamilton, Professor of English and American Studies at Presbyterian College; Mr. George Frierson, the curator and historian at the Mary McLeod Bethune Learning Center in Mayesville, SC; Dr. Feliccia Smith, co-Chair of the Community Remembrance Project of Greenville County; and Ms. Frances Pollack, an independent opera composer and composer of Stinney: An American Execution. They will discuss the impact of historical racial violence, the sociological and cultural divisions that persist in South Carolina, and the various programs and organizations that can help promote racial justice.
