Join us to watch a play performed by our students and theater department, streamed right to your home!
The Theatre Department, and our very own Professor Barton, who wrote the play, realize the sensitive nature of this topic and is putting in place the appropriate measures to maintain accountability and, above all, respect. The play will be divided into 3 sections,
White – honoring memories of Breonna and her family
Blue – the interrogation of corruption at LMPD
Red – reflecting on why there were protests during a pandemic
Please note that this play is NOT a Breonna Taylor biography but a way for our students to express themselves creatively. This production is not about trauma voyeurism but acknowledging this story has not been completely written, and there are everyday reactions that need to be part of the story. We need to keep her name in our collective memory and reflect on how much work we still must do.
We hope to see you there!

Join us for a conversation with 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first American woman to compete in hijab. As a sports ambassador for the U.S. Department of State’s Empowering Women and Girls through Sport Initiative and named one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, Ibtihaj is a self-described “change agent” and—as Mattel describes her— “shero” to young girls everywhere. In conversation with Berea College’s own Dr. M. Shadee Malaklou, Assistant Professor and Chair of Women’s and Gender Studies, Ibtihaj will speak with us about what it means to pursue what she describes in her memoir as “an unlikely American dream,” about how she navigates professional sports as a celebrity Black Muslim woman, about her feminist entrepreneurship as the founder of the modest clothing company Louella, and about her first children’s book, the New York Times Best Seller The Proudest Blue: A Story of Hijab and Family. In it, Ibtihaj insists—as Berea College does—that our differences are worth celebrating, writing, “My hijab is part of me.” We hope to see you there!

Join us to hear a report from Bill Estep. He has reported on Appalachian Kentucky since 1985 for the Lexington Herald-Leader. While the coal industry has withered and substance abuse worsened, the region has also improved its schools and stepped up efforts to diversify and rebuild the economy. Estep will share lessons learned from 38 years of covering Appalachian Kentucky, as well as the joys and difficulties of reporting about this region where he grew up and lives. The region has too often been subjected to assumptions and stereotypes that distort understanding of Appalachia and its people. One job Estep and the paper undertake is to provide insight into the region and its people for a local, state, and national audience. That has become more challenging in an era of deep political and cultural division and erosion of traditional media. Newspapers remain a vital source of information for our society, covering issues and stories that most other media outlets don’t. They have to find a way to continue that mission as Appalachia feels its way forward. We hope to see you there!

Join us to hear from Margeret Renkl. Our ancestors didn’t think of creativity as a side gig. A quilt was meant to keep a family warm. It was meant to give a new practical use to the unworn bits of worn-out clothes. But our family quilts were never simply warm and never simply practical. They were beautiful and making them brought their makers happiness. Renkl, an author and contributing opinion writer for the New York Times, believes that expressing our own creativity—whether through painting or gardening or singing or dancing or writing or, yes, needlework—is one of the ways we bring meaning to our lives. We hope to see you there!
