At first look, STAY IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD, the title of a pickaninny ballad published in 1902, is a strange name for an event on the state of segregation in Rochester in 2018. Unfortunately, statistics show that post Jim Crow era Rochester is still hyper-segregated and getting more so. And that we still live in a country where people of color are trespassers (or even criminals) when sitting in Starbucks, lounging in college dorms, going on college tours, walking down the street, entering their homes, going in restaurants as well as driving in their cars.
STAY IN YOUR OWN BACK YARD is poignantly presented on the Friday before the Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday.
