We are the ladies who resided in the prison camps of North Carolina. Sister Dean aka Ms. Rose Marie Murray has served these camps since the seventies. Bringing hope to women who fought to hold on to their dignity. Ms. Murray came without judgement but came with a love that was so peaceful and inviting. Captivating you with her wisdom, charm and smile, I can remember my first encounter with her. She came to RCCW to bring the production of "HerStory" a Black History production. She came to enlighten us on the struggle: bringing history books, authentic African dress, attitude and pride. She coached and directed us to perform with dignity, giving an other wise lowly existence as we did our time...meaning and excitement. I who had read about Rosa Parks became Rosa Parks and the hateful Bus Driver. Shouting "Let Me Have Those Seats" we were able to recreate the start of the civil rights movement in the United States in the day room to the compound. However, because Sister Dean brought the show to the prison camp it started a movement in me to live free. To few are given the credit they are due while they yet live. This event will be a night of honor and praise of a Lady of Virtue who touched many lives. She is a woman who listens, loves and encourages. I would love to bring together women whose lives she has touched, while they were yet captives. The opportunity to give honor in the free world to her by women she has visited, some more than a decade behind bars. Let me know if I can be of help in bringing this moment of time together.
