The Witness

“The Witness” – Approximately two hours (with intermission) in length takes place on Election Day, 2012. It is the story of “Bo,” a 69 year old man, a self-confessed former racist, born and raised in St. Augustine, FL, who tells his story about the violent struggle for Civil Rights in America, particularly in St. Augustine.  Nearly all historians agree that the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama put the Civil Rights Legislation in Congress.  Many historians believe the events in St. Augustine (the beating of former U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young, the incarceration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Monson Motor Lodge swimming pool incident, and the incarceration of The Sixteen Rabbis, etc.), moved the legislation in 1964, to President Lyndon Johnson’s desk for signing.  “The Witness” is a love story (fiction) and a story about racism  in America (non-fiction) and one racist’s experience in the South. A power point presentation accompanies the Special OPS (One Person Show) drama. Now in production as a movie. Questions: LeeFWeaver@gmail.com  Youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inKMVUJgVn8
