The Play praises Black men whose vision forced them out front in the fight for a dignified place in the American society. None lost sight of the goal, and none turned back.
"Chance to learn, think, laugh and most of all, be moved by the promise and vision of extra-ordinar leaders" Alison Roberts, Sacramento Union, Sacramento, CA
The study of Black
History reveals many unrecognized heroes, and it would take
several volumes to accurately depict those important black
leaders who made contributions to their people and this nation.
The leaders presented in this play represent only a few of those
who committed and dedicated themselves to creating a better
world. although these Black men walked quite different paths, and
each viewed the world from a different perspective, and each
spoke to a different audience, there is a commonality between
them - they formed the human links in the chain of existence for
Black people and allowed Black people to continuously press on.
From the first Black slave brought to America, the constant
struggle for freedom brought forth Black leaders who taught,
inspired and fought unceasingly for human dignity. Through
poetry, speeches, drama, song, and letters, CAN I SPEAK FOR
YOU BROTHER? echoes their defiant cry, "I`M I A LONG
TIME DYING!"
"Brilliant", Jerry Willis, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA

"It will make you laugh & cry, but most importantly, it will make you think & feel & understand. It is...by & about Black people, but is for all people to hear & comprehend & experience", Marilyn P. Denny, Suttertown News, Sacramento, CA
"Charms and challenges", Rebecca Hensley, Quad City Register, Rock Island, IL
