The Art of Change: Don Williams

UC Santa Cruz drama lecturer Don Williams talks about how he founded, in 1991, UCSC’s African American Theater Arts Troupe, or “AATAT” as it’s often called. The theater group has had a profound and lasting effect on countless numbers of African American students throughout the years. His students have a deep appreciation, and love for his willingness to address head on not only what it means to be Black on the UCSC campus, but also the importance of exposing African American students, and all students, to the Black experience through presenting plays written by Black playwrights.
