‘Portraits of Courage’ play takes Bauman stage Feb. 9

This is a reminder to pick up your free ticket for the play “Portraits of Courage: African Americans You Wish You Had Known,” scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, Feb. 9, in Bauman Auditorium.

The presentation portrays six African Americans — Ida B. Wells, Lewis Latimer, Colonel Young, C.J. Walker, Bass Reeves and Fannie Lou Hamer — who were influential to the development of America but are typically overlooked in the history books. There will be a discussion afterwards.

Students and employees may pick up their complimentary ticket at the University Store. Outside community members may purchase tickets at a rate of $8 for adults, $6 for seniors/alumni, and $5 for students with ID. Tickets may be purchased in person at the bookstore or by calling 503-554-3844. The play features reserved seating starting at 6:30 p.m.
