SUMMARY:Lexington's Freedom Train Monument
DESCRIPTION:LexArts\, in partnership with the Lexington’s Freedom Train Memorial committee\, has embarked on a major public art initiative that will honor Lewis and Harriet Hayden\, two of Lexington’s formerly enslaved\, who escaped via the Underground Railroad and who went on to become famed abolitionists. In addition to honoring the Haydens\, the monument will serve as a remembrance and commemoration of other enslaved persons in Lexington and their paths to freedom. \nThis artwork will be a visual landmark in Lexington on a parcel of land located at the southeast corner of Limestone and Fourth Streets on the grounds of Lexington Traditional Magnet School. A Call for Art resulted in submissions from 96 acclaimed local\, regional\, national\, and international artists. From that esteemed group\, four artists have now been commissioned to create designs for the site. Each artist will make a public presentation of their design on March 13 at 6pm at the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center\, after which the selection committee will make a final recommendation.

SUMMARY:Soldier's Play
DESCRIPTION:A Soldier’s Play is a play by American playwright Charles Fuller. Set on a US Army installation in the segregation-era South\, the play is a loose adaptation of Herman Melville‘s novella Billy Budd\, and follows the murder investigation of the Sergeant in an all-black unit. The play uses a murder mystery to explore the complicated feelings of anger and resentment that some African Americans have toward one another and the ways in which many black Americans have absorbed white racist attitudes. \nThe drama won the 1982 Pulitzer Prize for Drama\, among other accolades. It was the basis for a 1984 feature film adaptation\, A Soldier’s Story\, for which Fuller wrote the screenplay. \nPlot synopsis\nThe story takes place at the United States Army’s Fort Neal\, Louisiana\, in 1944 during the time when the military was racially segregated. In the opening scene\, the audience witnesses the murder of black Sergeant Vernon Waters by an unseen shooter. Just before his death\, Waters utters the enigmatic cry\, “They still hate you!” \nCaptain Richard Davenport\, a rare black Army officer\, has been sent to investigate the killing. Initially\, the primary suspects are local Ku Klux Klansmen. Later\, bigoted white soldiers fall under suspicion. Ultimately\, Davenport discovers the killer was one of the black soldiers under Waters’ command. Waters’ men hated him because Waters himself treated Southern black men in utter disdain and contempt. \nAs Davenport interviews witnesses and suspects\, we see flashbacks showing what Sergeant Waters was like and how he treated his men. The light-skinned Waters was highly intelligent and extremely ambitious and loathed black men who conformed to old-fashioned racist stereotypes. Waters dreamed of sending his own children to an elite college where they would associate with white students rather than with other blacks. In Waters’ mind\, Uncle Toms and “lazy\, shiftless Negroes” reflected poorly on him and made it harder for other African-Americans to succeed. For that reason\, Waters persecuted black soldiers like Private C.J. Memphis\, whose broad grin and jive talk made Waters’ blood boil. Waters’ cruelty and vindictiveness drove Memphis to suicide\, which alienated the rest of Waters’ men and turned them hopelessly against him. \nShortly before he was murdered\, Waters came to realize how futile and foolish his lifelong attempts to behave like a white man had been. His dying words\, “They still hate you\,” reflected his belated understanding that white hatred and disdain of black men like himself had nothing to do with stereotypical black behavior and that whites would probably always hate him\, no matter how hard he tried to emulate “white” ways.
