• "Cool in presentation" ... "Superb" ... "An intellectually rigorous piece of writing" ... "The un-Hamilton." - Christopher Jones, Chicago Tribune

• "3 1/2 out of 4 stars" ... "Evocative" ... "Impressive" ... "The performances are topnotch" - Mark Davidson, Chicago Theater Beat

• "Amazingly done" ... "Superbly played" ... "The importance of the story line was that the struggles that [Frederick] Douglass had are still evident today. Watch the nightly news ... being an African-American in this country is still not as equal as the constitution said." - Al Bresloff, Around the Town

• "A multi-media masterpiece" ... "A timely example of political co-option and exploitation" ... "[The play] asks a necessary question to indict today’s factions: What best sways men’s souls—reason or feeling (Hillary or Trump)?" - Lawrence Bommer, Stage and Cinema
