This is my first time actually reading The Colored Museum. Before the reading, I had only seen parts of episodes of the play from the made-for-tv version. I am really moved by the beginning episode entitled, "Git on Board" simply because the playwright invites the audience to become active spectators. The play gives voice to the stories that may have been heard but not given attention to. I believe this play is timeless and makes a statement to the audience,"We are here. This is our history, and you will know it.
