SUMMARY:A Quiet Roar: The Unparalleled Lives of Bayard Rustin & Sarah Mapps Douglass
DESCRIPTION:It’s the summer of 1948\, and dynamic civil rights activist Bayard Rustin has a very important speech to prepare for at Arch Street Meeting House. But outspoken 18th-century educator\, activist\, and artist Sarah Mapps Douglass doesn’t know who this young interloper is. \nA Quiet Roar is a theater performance that bridges the lives of Rustin and Mapps Douglass\, two phenomenal Black Philadelphian Quakers who walked the halls of Arch Street Meeting House a century apart. Their writings and experiences come to life by highlighting the complex\, often overlooked intersections of race\, faith\, and freedom in the United States. Written & Directed by Yvie Jones. \nRun Time: 30 minutes \nThe Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) at ASMH practices unprogrammed\, silent worship. Following the performance\, the audience will be invited to engage in a 30-second moment of silent reflection and a Q&A. \nCast: Leslie Hartshell (Sarah Mapps Douglass) & Najee Duwon (Bayard Rustin) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe program will run on Saturday mornings from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM and afternoons from 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM\, on Memorial Day\, May 25\, 2026\, through Labor Day\, September 7\, 2026.

SUMMARY:A Quiet Roar: The Unparalleled Lives of Bayard Rustin & Sarah Mapps Douglass
DESCRIPTION:It’s the summer of 1948\, and dynamic civil rights activist Bayard Rustin has a very important speech to prepare for at Arch Street Meeting House. But outspoken 18th-century educator\, activist\, and artist Sarah Mapps Douglass doesn’t know who this young interloper is. \nA Quiet Roar is a theater performance that bridges the lives of Rustin and Mapps Douglass\, two phenomenal Black Philadelphian Quakers who walked the halls of Arch Street Meeting House a century apart. Their writings and experiences come to life by highlighting the complex\, often overlooked intersections of race\, faith\, and freedom in the United States. Written & Directed by Yvie Jones. \nRun Time: 30 minutes \nThe Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) at ASMH practices unprogrammed\, silent worship. Following the performance\, the audience will be invited to engage in a 30-second moment of silent reflection and a Q&A. \nCast: Leslie Hartshell (Sarah Mapps Douglass) & Najee Duwon (Bayard Rustin) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe program will run on Saturday mornings from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM and afternoons from 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM\, on Memorial Day\, May 25\, 2026\, through Labor Day\, September 7\, 2026.
