 A. Van Jordan is an award-winning poet who
focuses on resistance to racism through blues and jazz music. His most recent publication,
“M-A-C-N-O-L-I-A,” takes the voice of MacNolia Cox, a young African-American girl who entered the 1936 National Spelling Bee—the first African-American to do so—and was ultimately thwarted by the judges’ racism. His 2001 collection of poems, “Rise,” won the PEN Josephine Miles Book Award. Jordan is on the faculty at the University of Texas.

“Moolaadè”
Thursday, Jan. 24
2 p.m., Waccamaw Higher Education Center
8 p.m., Wall Auditorium
Admission: Free and open to the public
Set in a small African village, this African/French production follows four young girls facing ritual “purification.” They flee to the household of Collè Ardo Gallo Sy, a strong-willed woman who has managed to shield her own teenage daughter from mutilation. Collè invokes the time-honored custom of moolaadè (sanctuary) to protect the fugitives, and tension mounts as the ensuing stand-off pits Collè against village traditionalists.
