BLACK THEATRE
Strugg

"We have something to
say; to give experiences that
are familiar and the stage is a
medium for this expression."
The speaker is Coleman
Freeman, Urban Arts Coordinator
for the Arts Council and
Director of the Amani Urithi
Players, a Black Theatre
group in winston-aaiem.
The idea of Black Theatre in
Winston-Salem did not begin
with Amani Urithi, according
to the young actor/director.
He says that several years ago
a Black Theatre group was
started under the direction of
Mrs. Honnie Anderson, a local
high school drama instructor.
"Mrs. Anderson's efforts
were short-lived," Freeman
said in a recent interview,
"primarily because the interest
in Black Theatre had not
a ? M ?
yet reached Winston-saiem.
In addition, "the community
here had been drained by a
long continuing Civil Rights
Movement. The white community
still considered any
so-called black effort a threat.
Therefore, he continued, "the .

Other blacks were encouraged
to pursue this area. In
1973 the Amani Urithi players
were founded by Coleman
Freeman. There were 40
actors in the original group.

Rober Shoaf, Jr. is appalled
by the lack of faith and unity in
the black community. The
Winston-Salem - City Auditor
said that black people in
Winston-Salem cannot survive
as a race unless "we stick
together."
Shoaf explained: "There
are blacks in responsible city
government positions' who
should reach those persons
outside city government. We
need a meeting of the minds,
inside people and outside
people."

hold my race responsible for
what a few members of that

would be hypocritical and I do
not want to be hypocritical."
