Harvard: A Reading of Rachel’s Words
Excerpts of the source material for the most talked-about play this season and a statement by Alice Walker about Rachel Corrie’s legacy.
Thursday, May 4 at 8 pm
Sever Hall (Room 113)
Harvard Yard
ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Please join us for a reading by Harvard students and affiliates of the extraordinary personal writings of the human rights activist Rachel Corrie. She was crushed to death by an Israeli Army bulldozer during a non-violent demonstration to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home in the southern Gaza Strip on 16 March 2003. Rachel was 23.
Over a thousand people gathered in New York to hear Rachel’s words after the New York Theatre Workshop, citing potential pressure from pro-occupation groups, suddenly ‘postponed’ the performance of the play “My Name is Rachel Corrie,” a docudrama based on her e-mails and journals which is currently a critical success running on London’s West End.
Admission is free.
