It's hard to know the correct path here without knowing what the storyline of the play was to be. I do, however, tend to agree with Ms. Black that creating legitimacy for the KKK is not to be encouraged. I love the idea of kids learning by doing but they likely could learn about our racist history without donning a white coned hat and sheet and carrying sticks and "torch flashlights"!!

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
