Congratulations to Our 2025 BSLA First in the Family Humanist Forward Freethought Scholarship Awardees!
In 1978, Peoples Temple, a progressive, Black multiracial church, perished in a Guyana jungle settlement named after its leader, the Reverend Jim Jones. White Nights, Black Paradise is a riveting story of complicity and resistance; loyalty and betrayal; Black struggle and Black sacrifice, told through the voices of Black women. The play spotlights the diversity of Black women’s secular and religious beliefs, in addition to class and sexuality
“Unforgettable…A testament to Black
women’s power in all forms…
It will disturb you and make you think.”
“How did Jones get almost 1,000 Black people – a majority of whom were women, children and elders – to leave without protest? What was going on in San Francisco, in urban America and the West Coast, that would make religious and political leaders give him their blessing?” SF Bayview review by Wanda Sabir
