When We Were Colored: A Mother’s Story

This original play by Sacramentan Ginger Rutland, based on a memoir by her mother Eva Rutland, is the history of an African-American family moving from the segregated South to Sacramento in the early 1950s and finding that things are tough all over, and one must persevere to succeed.
