Church drama ministry examines 'new slavery'

  When Corean Strong saw the news coverage of Trayvon Martin's killing and George Zimmerman going free on a stand-your-ground defense, she felt moved to take action.

The end result of her anguish and sadness rockedNew Hope Baptist Church on Saturday when theDrama Ministry performed "The New Slavery: Breaking the Chains."

"A lot of what led me to write this was what's going on on TV about Trayvon Martin andJordan Davis, two young black men killed in Florida," said Strong, director of the church's Drama Ministry.

"I wanted people to be aware that there's some systematic thing going on in this country," Strong said. "It's the old game with a new name."

Strong and her cast took an audience of some 200 on a journey to slavery's past in America, then to what she and others perceive to be the slavery of the 21st century.

"In the 1860s, the slaves were freed but with no place to go, no hope," said the Rev. Dionne Boissiere.

"In 1955, Emmett Till was brutally murdered, his body thrown in a river," she continued. "His attackers were not found guilty and were let go free. And blacks were still not free."

In a series of vignettes, four young men and one young woman portrayed Amadou Diallo, killed in 1999; Sean Bell, killed in 2006; Trayvon Martin, killed in 2012; Ranisha McBride, killed at age 19; and Jordan Davis, killed in 2013 for playing music too loud.

None of the white police or private individuals who shot and killed these black youths was found guilty of murder.

"It seems it's still true, they can't convict a white man for killing a black boy," the young man portraying Jordan Davis said.

There were periods of hope, Boissiere acknowledged.

In another vignette, the audience met Fannie Lou Hamer, a voting rights activist and civil rights leader who had been brutally beaten by police and sterilized by white doctors. Yet she went on to help form the Black Democratic Party in Mississippi and became the first woman to serve in the state legislature.

"Finally, there was hope," Boissiere said, "in men like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, and John and Bobby Kennedy. We had been freed from our struggle."

"We can go to school together, work in the corporate world together," she continued. "But that does not mean blacks are no longer in bondage."

Vignettes followed of unnamed blacks who spoke of their "enslaved minds," the mass incarceration of young black men in American prisons, the sex trafficking of black teens, police brutality and racial profiling.

"I get three years for a little weed while a white boy can drink and drive and kill people and still go free," a young black man in an orange prison jumpsuit said. "I'm in here and all I see are blacks and Hispanics, yet its mainly whites who smoke the weed. After this, I can't vote, can't serve on juries. It's a new way and a new system of keeping black people down."

Is there hope? Boissiere and Strong believe there is.

"How do you break the chains?" Boissiere asked. "Through faith, knowledge, prayer and action. Being someone you can be proud about. We've got to go learn about what we want to be about."

"Clean up your grammar, boys, and pull up your pants. We can be free. We can break the chains."
