| Thank you for offering names of people who have had long careers in which they were openly and proudly Black. Any of these would be excellent choices. To see the first two names offered on this board in response to the goal of naming theater for Black artists being a woman who passed for white and a man who is white... is disappointing to say the least. Though I do appreciate all the names offered further down this thread. |

| ... that the first name offered was, in fact, Paul Robeson. By me, in the very first post. | |

| Thanks. I also listed Paul Robeson in my initial post in this thread. I've also suggested a lot of other names as well further down. But the person who criticizes me knows that doesn't fit his agenda. I usually actively try to avoid reading his messages, but sometimes don't look where I click. But -- so many other people to hear from and to read. As Ethel Mertz said years ago, "I have sufficient". | |

| I wrote in my message that I appreciated the list of names that were offered further in the thread. I didn’t say your list specifically, but that list was included in my comment. I do apologize that I missed your other offerings in your first post, I was reacting strongly to your headline and that blinded me a bit. There’s no agenda, though, just frustration that Carol Channing and ALW were among the early offerings in a thread about honoring Black contributions to the theater. |
