“Mezzo-soprano Chrystal E. Williams is fire personified as Aurelia Browder, the lead plaintiff in the landmark case of Browder v. Gayle, which effectively struck down the Jim Crow segregated transportation laws and the mayor of Montgomery, W.A. “Tacky” Gayle.”

Kathy D. Hey, Third Coast review

 

“…stunning mezzo-soprano Chrystal E. Williams embodies the more mature and sophisticated activist Browder…”

Deanna Isaacs, Chicago Reader

“Chrystal E. Williams embodied the good sense of these trailblazing women as Aurelia Browder.”

M. L. Rantala, Hyde Park Herald
