Description: ID Monologues will use a queer and virtual adaptation of Legislative Theater methodology to examine how QTPOC interact with Voter ID laws and the effect that navigating these complex legislative systems and barriers has on their existance and communities. Their stories encourage us to imagine proposing and enacting legislative and policy changes at any level of government and to work towards creating a world where QTPOC existence is freed from oppressive legislative process.

Join us Sunday, October 25th at 7pm for Dr. Billie Jean Young's "This Little Light" & Women's Vote Centennial Panel.

BILLIE JEAN YOUNG’s performance in Fannie Lou Hamer: This Little Light is an amazingly apt portrayal of the Mississippi civil and voting rights activist of the same name. Young effortlessly captures Hamer’s dialect, personality, oratorical skills, physical movement, even her bodily limp, and serves as a poignant reminder to those who remember. Through the several other characters depicted in the one-woman show, audiences, young and old, are also thrust front and center into the fray, the dangers, the turmoil of the 60’s fight for citizenship. After over 800 live stage performances on four continents, Billie Jean Young allowed this film version during the 2020 pandemic and civil rights and voting rights crises so that after 38 years, her original goal of taking Mrs. Hamer’s message to the world continues.
