S.Y. Johnson

"JOHNSON" is a course set to music, substantive narratives revealing and exemplifying the triumph of the human spirit, and the limitless measurements of Black men in contemporary society, continuing what Hansberry created in the character of Walter Lee Younger, " ...a giant, surrounded by ants, who didn't even know what he was talking about." LaRay truly provides insight, real life, compassion, love, respect, and emotion among myriad personalities and delineates common threads with Black men who are proud, prosperous, passionate, courageous, competitive and confident, artistic and angry. Refreshing, as it should be when we are given accessibility, availability and opportunity to share our experiences, processes and 'his'tory, 'her'story and 'our'story. LaRay and the entire cast, crew nailed it!
