Presentation by Living Voices

The Right to Dream is Raymond.s story, a young African American man growing
up in Mississippi on the brink of the American Civil Rights movement. Early on,
Raymond feels the daily impact of racism and then is introduced to leaders like
Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., showing him a that something different
may be possible for blacks in America. Raymond, dedicated to joining these
leaders, receives a scholarship to attend Tougaloo College. Raymond begins his
involvement in the movement when he leads a sit-in at a local lunch counter. He
then becomes a part of SNCC (the Student Non-Violent Coordinating
Committee) and is a participant in the voter registration drive, the March on
Washington, Freedom Summer and the March from Selma to Montgomery.
Raymond.s experiences reflect much of the world of the American south of that
time: both the personal and collective struggle for a voice; the everyday
adversity created by the K.K.K and White Supremacists; the conflicts within the
movement as well as those outside it; the achievements as well as the tragedies.
Raymond offers a personal inside view of a tumultuous and challenging period
of American history.

Living Voices strives to recreate historical periods with as much authentic detail
as possible. We believe that by allowing audiences to experience history as
participants they will better understand the choices individuals made at during
that time.
