Racial Purity
This also reminds me of a not so "subtle dig," from another "race before race" play:
“Even now, now, very now, an old black ram
Is tupping your white ewe. Arise, arise,
Awake the snorting citizens with the bell
Or else the devil will make a grandsire of you.
Arise, I say!!” (Othello I.I. 88 – 92)
Shakespeare, Racial Injustice, Trump, and the COVID-19 Pandemic, drove us here on the Big Island to use Shakespeare to push back against the madness by live-streaming a COVID-safe production of MOORE - a Pacific Island Othello to universities across America, in order to bring out the vote in the Arizona, Texas, Flordia, and N. Carolina. If you haven't seen it yet, please go to the MIT Global Shakespeare Project:
