Wow! What a paradise Madison, Wisconsin in! We performed the show last night in the beautiful auditorium of The Wisconsin Historical Society. The crowd was terrific and well represented by the Black Student Union, Hillel, students, faculty, and some locals. The discussion after the show went for an hour and we could have went all night, but they had to close the building. The discussion hit on how we tend to sit with our groups and congregate within our own group and how hard it is to mix-it-up and go where we may be a bit more uncomfortable. Also that multi-culturalism and diversity is more than just sitting in an auditorium black, white, black, latino. Jew, Muslim, white, etc. We have to talk! Dialogue! And get to know one another. We grow in life from challenging adversity and overcoming it. We grow in our own humanity from challenging discomfort with those who are not like us and engaging in dialogue. Thank you Badgers for welcoming us to your gorgeous campus and taking such good care of us while we were here. Gotta Go! Catching a plane home to Cambridge this morning. Keep on keepi' on and fighting the good fight!
