KEEP ON WALKIN' tells the story of a white girl on Staten Island who becomes pen pals with an African American girl in Montgomery,
Alabama. Through the eyes of these two girls, we meet a young preacher named Martin Luther King, Jr. who is leading a boycott
of segregated buses in Montgomery. Both girls are excited by the possibility of change, but soon realize how difficult it
can be to make the right decisions.
With exciting, original music, KEEP ON WALKIN' runs about an hour. Students learn about how far we have come as a nation and
how far we still may have to go as an interracial cast delivers a message of how friendship knows no color.
