David Shakes ’85 and the North Star Players present Emancipation Denied, a live radio drama. This radio play tells the story of the Tulsa race riot of 1921, which has been called the "single worst incident of racial violence in American history."

Written by Debra Washington, a Rochester playwright, the drama premiered in 2017 to rave reviews and sold-out performances.
