My theme that Jews are the most significant element in the liberal American cultural/political establishment. From today’s Washington Post. No comment necessary:
Ford’s Theatre has announced a five-year project to mount one play each season with themes of tolerance, equality and other social issues and pair them with a month of weekly dialogues.
“The Lincoln Legacy Project,” a new initiative, will start in the fall with the musical “Parade,” the theater announced Tuesday. The play follows the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager in early-20th-century Atlanta, who, after being accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl, was lynched by a mob.
Ford’s has enlisted several partners for the “Legacy Project,” starting with the Anti-Defamation League, which was founded in the wake of Frank’s lynching in 1913; the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights; the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington; the D.C. Jewish Community Center…
The founding sponsor of the project, the theater also announced Tuesday, is Ronald O. Perelman, chairman of MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc., who pledged $500,000.
