Septima at PURE Theatre

It’s the day of Septima Clark’s 125 birthday. Septima, with the help of some old friends, reflects not only on her work as a Civil Rights leader and educator, but the moments of her life that shaped her into one of the most important figures in American history, and inspired Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to name her the “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.” In cooperation with the League of Women Voters Charleston Area, PURE Theatre is proud to announce the commission of a world premiere play on the life of Charleston native Septima Clark.
