The USNA Masqueraders are proud to present Soul Force, it is a work of documentary theatre. It combines historic accounts of events, sermons, letters, documents, and photographs from participants in the Montgomery Bus Boycott to theatrically portray the intersections of stories from those whose important contributions to the Civil Rights Movement are often overlooked. Specifically, Soul Force highlights the work of Jo Ann Robinson and the Women's Political Council, who initiated and sustained the boycott; IJ Baskin, the reporter who brought the boycott's African American perspective to the national news; Bayard Rustin, the openly gay peace activist who first mentored Martin Luther King, Jr. in the tactics of nonviolence; and Rev. Glenn Smiley, the white, southern minster and peace activist whom King would come to praise as "his teacher" in nonviolent theories and actions. The play's name comes from the translation of satyagraha, coined by Mahatma Gandhi, to describe the philosophy and practice of nonviolent resistance.
