that if uh the literal laws of you know you could not marry and you could not be together in an interracial relationship and then there was the time that so many black men were lynched because they were caught with a white woman it's one of the most dangerous things that can ever happen uh it was the time of the scottsboro boys it was the time of uh you know uh
of, of, of danger.
And, um, and actually the producer thought we put it in there.
Right.
And I said, no, that's in the play because actually the law at the time was no unmarried couple could be in a hotel together.
And that's the law that they were thinking of that in Boston at this time, you know, it was, you're not supposed to be in a hotel together unless you're married, you know,
There may be a law against this.
And that simple line rang out like something you had never heard before.
It felt different.
Thank you.
Thank you.
