Forty years ago in September of 1976, for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow was enuf moved to the Booth Theater on Broadway, sparking new conversations about black womanhood, feminism and gender relations. BCRW’s Digital Shange Project and the Barnard Archives and Special Collections(home to the Ntozake Shange Collection) are celebrating Ntozake Shange (BC ‘70) and her iconic play by archiving your experiences of for colored girls.
Tell us what for colored girls has meant to you! Did you ‘find god in yourself’ by reading for colored girls? Were you one of the thousands of women who appeared in a for colored girls production? Did you see it on Broadway? We’d love to share production stills, programs and your memories during the for colored girls anniversary year (?) and then place them in the archive for researchers to use along with Ntozake’s manuscripts and memorabilia.
You can participate by:
- Posting written, audio, or video memories using the #fcg40 hashtag on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
- Emailing us at digitalshange@gmail.com with memories, photos or scans (please identify the source(s) of any visual materials).
