The Palestinian Cultural Organization at UNC Charlotte is presenting a free play, My Name is Rachel Corrie, on Monday, April 25th, 2016, at 7 p.m., at McKnight Theater, University Cone Center, UNC Charlotte.
The one person show “My Name is Rachel Corrie”, edited from Rachel’s emails and journal entries by the late Alan Rickman and editor in chief of The Guardian, Katherine Viner, chronicles the life of the 23 year old American Peace Activist who traveled to Gaza in January of 2003 with the International Solidarity Movement to defend Palestinian homes from being demolished. It was there, on March 16th, 2003 that she was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer while protecting her host’s home from being destroyed by the Israeli army.
