Approved

In 1944, George Stinney Jr. was executed at the age of 14. Wrongfully accused of the rape and murder of two white girls, George became the youngest person legally executed in America. Stinney: An American Execution spotlights the agony of this injustice as it reminds us of our aspirations for an enlightened society.
Opera Grand Rapids is bringing together artistic community partners in a collaborative artistic effort to tell the story of George Stinney. The evening will include artistic features from Opera Grand Rapids, in collaboration with Ebony Road Players, Dr. Eric Williams from the Smithsonian Museum of African American History, student artists from WMCAT, The Diatribe and other independent artists.
