1620 Bank Street, a new play by C. Rosalind Bell

Although the United States Supreme Court ruled in 1954 and 1955 that the Separate and Equal doctrine was null and void, it would be the late ‘60s before Louisiana acted to fully integrate its schools. The play, 1620 Bank Street, takes place at a southwestern Louisiana Catholic High School and provides a lens into the lives of the people affected by the decision as notions of race, class, culture, and love bump against and into one another.
