The Color Purple

Posted by admin | Filed under Announcements, Covenant House Youth

Our youth spent last month reading and discussing, “The Color Purple” by Alice Walker. As they followed the story of Celie, they talked about domestic violence, sexual abuse and broken relationships. Many of them could relate to the ongoing hurt and isolation Celie felt. A New Cornerstone, Inc. provided workshops on healthy relationships and guest speakers helped the kids recognize and deal with problems in their own relationships. The month long experience concluded with the amazing opportunity to see the Broadway play at the Fox Theatre (a first for all our kids)!
