Description

We used clips from this production to show students examples of first person narratives. There is also free curriculum from Facing History and Ourselves. Students LOVED watching this. It's engaging and impressive.

From the PBS website:
Anna Deavere Smith transforms herself into scores of individuals - using only their words and duplicating their speech patterns, mannerisms, dress, and attitudes - in a mosaic set in the violent aftermath of the 1992 Rodney King verdict.
