Upperclassmen to attend controversial play Thursday at Krannert

Uni juniors and seniors will attend “N*W*C*” Thursday morning at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts. “N*W*C*" is a 95-minute theatrical piece that blends hip-hop, stand-up comedy, slam poetry, and true-life stories. A major argument of “N*W*C*” is that society must confront racial slurs and stereotypes. The creators of the play believe that by using epithets freely and bluntly they are not only taking away the words’ power, they are reclaiming them.
