"... I attended the powerful production of 'Now Let My Fly' at the Topeka Performing Arts Center...Ordinary people - just like you and me - changed the way an entire class of people would be treated...Those few who took the risk and fought for what they believed in made a huge difference - not just for their children, but for black children everywhere."
