Now Let Me Fly was commissioned for the national celebration of the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board through a generous contribution from Washburn University and was first produced by the Brown Foundation.
"... I attended the powerful production of 'Now Let My Fly' at the Topeka Performing Arts Center...Ordinary people - just like you and me - changed the way an entire class of people would be treated...Those few who took the risk and fought for what they believed in made a huge difference - not just for their children, but for black children everywhere."
