Anna Deavere Smith has stated she doesn't wear shoes in her performances because when she is playing characters she wants to "walk in their words". They are likely copying what Smith does, it's a nice subtle nod to her work.
@@zac2636 Thanks.. I just recently saw this show here in Ohio. It is powerful. I was living in LA during this time and was actually in the jury pool. I was, however, excused by the attorneys as I worked with youth who were gang involved.
Y’all did a GREAT JOB! This is GREAT!
Spectacular - nothing is more powerful than the truth as told in a story. Ms Deveare Smith is an American genius.

does this include all of the interviews from the book?
I am curious why the students were barefoot... significant?
