4. THE LARAMIE PROJECT - April 10
The Laramie Project is a play about the brutal murder of gay college  student 
Matthew Shepard, and is based on more than 200 interviews conducted in  
Laramie, Wyoming over the following year and a half. 
The story is told in  the words of those who lived it, and live with it. From 
the perpetrators; the  emergency room doctor; the young man who found his 
nearly lifeless body; to  Matthews parents and friends... all in their own words.
There is no doubt  that hate crimes affect not only their victims, but send a 
message of fear and  intolerance to every member of their community. It is 
also clear that there is  always an opportunity for hope and healing, if we can 
only open our eyes and  hearts wide enough to recognize it. 
Please join Plainfield Area Equality and  more than 20 other organizations, 
many from Plainfield, and others from around  the State of New Jersey, as we 
spend an afternoon together in the community of  Fellowship and strive to 
understand that despite our superficial differences,  how alike we really all are.
