BLACK LIVES, BLACK WORDS International Project presents Cell Surface
CELL SURFACE is a play about two amazing African-American scientists, Dr. E.E. Just and Dr. Roger Young. Ernest Everett Just was the first Black graduate of Dartmouth. His graduate assistant, while he was a professor at Howard University, was Dr. Roger Young. She was the first Black woman to get a Ph.D. in science from U Penn.This play looks at two actors trying to show seven truncated years of a complex relationship. We look at the relationship of these historical figures, how we know them, and how we show them.
