For Colored Girls February 11, 2011

EMU Campus Life, brings For Colored Girls to campus for a special Friday Night Movie showing in the Student Center Ballroom on February 11, 2011 at 8:00 p.m.

The movie is based on Ntozake Shange's play "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf." Unlike the original play which featured only 7 women known by colors performing the collection of 20 poems, the movie has given each of the 20 characters names. Each of the poems deal with intense issues that particularly impact women in a thought-provoking commentary on what it means to be a female of color in the world (IMDb).

This is a free event with no tickets required. All are welcome. The event is co-sponsored by: EMU-NAACP, Zeta Phi Beta, Women's and Gender Studies and You Beautiful Black Women
