Schroeder Cherry's puppet play tells the historic events of the Birmingham Children’s Crusade through the lens of a child. A meticulously hand-crafted rod puppet acts as our narrator, telling of a recent discovery he made of his grandfather’s past.

With 3D puppets and wooden cut-outs, Cherry skillfully animates the struggles, courage, and determination of young protesters who participated in marches and demonstrations during the 1960s. Through this captivating and interactive storytelling medium, Cherry honors the resilience of these young activists. (45 min.)
