# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Mike Wiley's Breach of Peace- Cultural Series
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 02 Feb, 2027 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: On May 24, 1961, 19-year-old Jean Thompson boarded a Trailways bus in Montgomery, Alabama with eleven other young Freedom Riders bound for New Orleans – and history. Within three months, approximately 300 other riders took up the mantle to desegregate buses, following the path of the first brave few. Mobs assaulted many of them. Others were arrested.  Wiley’s drama “Breach of Peace” is based on true accounts of surviving participants of the Freedom Rides and others involved in the early struggle for African American equality.  This solo-play is a living monument to those remarkable young men and women of various races, religions, and backgrounds who rose to face the dangers of fighting for just and equal treatment for all.

Based in North Carolina, Mike Wiley is an acclaimed actor, playwright, and director, recognized for his innovative and impactful contributions to documentary solo theatre.  According to Robert McDowell, Triangle Theatre Review, "Wiley is a marvel to watch as the characters he portrays appear and disappear before us."
