04/08/2010 Amber Harris portrayed Rosa Parks for our Muse Machine members at Springboro High School today. Some of the kids were overhead saying that hers was the best in-school performance we've had all year. Her opening song and scene gave us the chills. Her powerful, soulful voice is amazing. Our principal, who often leaves half-way through a performance once he sees that everyone is settled in, was entertained and interested enough in Ms. Harris' presentation that he chose to stay the entire time to watch and listen! Our students and staff enjoyed the opportunity to participate on stage with Ms. Harris.
She taught us all a lot today and gave us all an opportunity to experience the feelings, frustration, and turmoil that Rosa Parks and all other "coloreds" (as she put it) have/had experienced because of segregration and discrimination.
