Minority Voices in Theater:

A Youth Friendly Anthology in Progress

the Wedding band by alice childress

Set in the Deep South in 1918 amidst the Spanish Flu, The Wedding Band tells the story of two young lovers in an illegal interracial relationship. Julia, a black seamstress, and Herman, a white baker, meet and begin a relationship. They face intense prejudice and eventually are forced apart due to racism, anti-miscegenation laws, and illness. This play shows how love knows no societal barriers, and even amidst sickness and war people can find one another even for a short time.
