Anne & Emmett should be seen in every classroom in America.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Janet Langhart Cohen has written a play that is emotional, educational and inspirational. I thought it was a beautifully acted. I’ve been following this play for a long time—great cast, fully directed. It was a real treat.

Michael Douglas, Actor, Director

Anne & Emmett is a powerful and haunting dramatization of the parallels in the lives of two historic young people.

Quincy Jones

I think it was very, very powerful, and such a message to us all today. We think that things like that are in the past, but it’s really the remembrance and trying to tell people that this is still going on. A very important play.

Secretary of State Madeline Albright

I think Janet did a great job in connecting the parallels that most people don't see. Explained the experience of Anne Frank and the experience of Emmett Till and how all people have had to come together as a result of these separate tragedies and build a better world like the way Anne did on that note, "spring to lightness, light the candles throughout the world."

Gen. Colin Powell (Ret.), Former United States Secretary of State

Well there are two very powerful stories that illustrate the injustice and hatred that exists in the world. It's part of human nature and we all have to make an attempt to rise above that.

Alma Powell, Chairman, America's Promise
