Historical Play by Attorney Terrance Newby Featured in Star Tribune Column

A new play written by Maslon Partner Terrance Newby was featured Feb. 27 in a column in the Minnesota Star Tribune. “Little Rock, 1942,” tells the largely unknown story of an Arkansas teacher who fought for equal pay; Susie Morris was represented by a young Thurgood Marshall. The play runs on Friday, Feb. 28, at the Landmark Center in St. Paul.

Women of the Civil Rights Movement, writes Myron Medcalf, “have been pushed to the background of the conversation around progress. That’s why the Landmark Center’s play is so important.”
