Description
This play explores the life of Barbara Jordan who was elected to the Texas State Senate in 1966 and in 1972 became the first black woman from the deep south elected to the United States House of Representatives. From the lessons she learned as a child in a junkyard in Houston's Fifth Ward, to the political maneuverings that took place behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, the play documents the spirit of the woman who rose, against all odds to be one of this country's most powerful orators, one of its most astute politicians, one of its greatest teachers.
