The ACLU of Pennsylvania invites you to join us on February 9 for a performance of "The Scottsboro Boys," the award-winning musical about the infamous 1930's 'Scottsboro Case' in which a group of African-American teens are falsely accused of a terrible crime, ultimately provoking a national outrage that sparked the American Civil Rights movement.
Immediately after the show, there will be a reception featuring members of the cast, a talk by ACLU of PA Executive Director Reggie Shuford, and special guests. Dessert, wine and beer, and soft drinks will be served.
