By Pulitzer Prize winner playwright Suzan Lori-parks
Directed by Adanma Onyedike
Widely considered to be Parks' masterpiece,this play brings to life a menagerie of stereotypes of African Americans. The "last man" of the title is named Black Man With Watermelon. He dies multiple deaths over the course of the show. Other characters include Ham, Queen Hatshepsut, Before Columbus, Black Woman with Fried Drumstick, Prunes and Prisms. These names comment on history and historians in fractured, repetitive, experimental language that evokes jazz.

Michael Eric Dyson
Author to Speak at Next Chautauqua Lecture
The next lecture in the Chautauqua Lecture Series, “Nature’s Humans,” will feature scholar, author and cultural critic Michael Eric Dyson
Dyson, named one of the 100 Most Influential Black Americans by Ebony magazine, will present “Pride and Humans” on Thursday, Feb. 3, at 7:30 p.m. in O’Donnell Hall, located in the Student Success Building (formerly the Student Services Building).
Hailed as one of the nation’s most inspiring African Americans, the two-time NAACP Image Award winner has been credited with revitalizing the role of the public intellectual with the fervor of an ordained Baptist minister. Currently a professor of sociology at Georgetown University, Dyson is the author of 17 books, including “Holler if You Hear Me,” “Is Bill Cosby Right?” and “I May Not Get There With You: The True Martin Luther King Jr.”
In his Chautauqua lecture, the keynote address for EKU’s celebration of Black History Month, Dyson will look at the many dimensions of pride – a many-sided human emotion that can be an indispensable virtue or a deadly sin.
In his multifaceted look at this “virtuous vice,” he will discuss the philosophical and theological roots of pride, its transformation in Western culture, and how he feels black pride keeps blacks from being degraded and excluded by white pride, which can be invisible, unspoken, but nonetheless very powerful. Dyson will also offer a glimpse into the teachers and books that shaped his personal pride and vocation.

Charter Schools
Blacks Wanting Alternative Education Options Begin Mobilizing in Lexington
By Patrice K. Muhammad
Within the Black community there has always been a major emphasis put on education. Yet, despite the best efforts of parents, many Black children can be found among the lowest performers on standardized tests and enrolled in mass number at schools for students with behavior disorders. The successful children that rise to the top of their classes are sometimes met with low expectations of their teachers and no advanced math and science instruction. Frustrated parents in search of better opportunities for their children often find that better schools cost lots of money, which they don’t have. Sounds hopeless right? Not exactly.
There is a national organization working “unapologetically” to obtain greater educational options for parents of Black children.
The Black Alliance For Educational Options (www.baeo.org) works nationally to promote parental choice. Their website explains, “BAEO is staunch in its belief that parental choice must be an integral part of any serious effort to reform education in America. BAEO firmly believes parental choice programs, which lead to the creation of quality educational options, not only rescue the children who can take advantage of such opportunities but also create powerful incentives for all schools, public and private, to improve.”
Kentucky’s Chapter Coordinator is Pastor Jerry Stephenson of Louisville’s Midwest Church of Christ. Pastor Stephenson said that he is working with Lexington leaders like Councilman George Myers to create more opportunity. ”In Kentucky we are pushing for tax credits and other choices for parents since vouchers have been deemed unconstitutional,” explained Stephenson. “We are also very supportive of charter schools.”
Recently, Kentucky’s State Senate passed a bill allowing charter schools in Kentucky. Charter schools are publicly funded schools that operate by “charter”, or permission, and are popular in many states because charters can offer specialized programs to help segments of the student population. Charters often use more innovative teaching methods which can help struggling students succeed.
Stephenson and BAEO believe that charter schools will open the door to schools dedicated to the achievement of African-American young people.
BAEO is sponsoring two viewings of the award winning movie “The Lottery”. The movie features stories of the dreams of parents hoping to win a place for their children in a high performance school.
The movie will be shown at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 26, 2011 at the Imani Baptist Church, 1555 Georgetown Road, across the street from the Oakwood Estates Subdivision.
All are welcome to learn more about charter schools and other alternative education options and how to lobby lawmakers to pass legislation allowing them in Kentucky.
