The National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ) presented a play in Skyline’s main theater with the objective of making students more aware of prejudices that exist in society last Wednesday and Thursday. The monologue, entitled “Horizon Line” portrays a teenager confused by the issues encompassing racism and tolerance. The monologue was focused on the life of a young adult named Danny Curtis, who looked to the wrong person for guidance. Danny was puzzled by different perspectives that he learned from various characters. That led him to commit a hate crime and eventually pay the consequences.Kevin Blake, who acted all the roles in this performance, hopes that people will benefit from the monologue.”I think [the audience] might get an understanding of how someone can become a hate crime offender, and what their role in having an impact on people’s lives can be,” Blake said. “Possibly by taking advantage of an opportunity to step in and help a person who’s lost or troubled or going down the wrong path.”The audience was also able to see the viewpoints surrounding these issues; which was the main goal of the production. “We have to talk about hate. If we don’t talk about hate and bias then its just going to continue,” said Skyline’s International Student Adviser Carla Campillo. “We have a campus that is multicultural…if we can’t respect each other and be up-front with each other then what kind of education are we giving?”Some students said they were influenced by the play’s message. “A lot of people got chills from it,” Catherine Tolentino said referring to the performance. “I notice what I say before I say something. It gave more awareness.”
