This year marks a year shy of 7 decades post the beginnings of the Civil Rights Movement, a movement tackling the inescapable racist climate of the day – and with it fighting for a better tomorrow. Post George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter Movement, we’re at a crucial moment in time where we question what gets taught within our institutions – for the greater good. Tracing Africa’s, America’s and the UK’s journey to build a hopeful world post racism and colonialism, Young Vic Artistic Director Kwame Kwei-Armah presents Beneatha’s Place, a bridge between the old world and the new one that emerges.
