Fearlessly funny, smart and provocative, The Peculiar Patriot traces the migration of systemic injustice from the plantation to the prison yard. Betsy LaQuanda Ross is a self-proclaimed “peculiar patriot,” who makes regular visits to penitentiaries to boost the morale of her incarcerated friends and family. Betsy is both victim and victor of this country’s prison system and her story turns statistics into achingly relatable stories, drawn from the experience of more than 2.5 million people behind bars. The play was developed beginning in 2003 with performances in more than 35 penitentiaries across the U.S. and incubation at Hi-ARTS in 2016. Hi-ARTS and National Black Theatre joined forces to produce the acclaimed world premiere in September 2017, working with more than 10 grass-roots organizations in criminal justice to help empower and inform the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/0ab56b0c-6b9a-4c1f-8895-e36218976f0f/TPP+at+DPT.jpg The Peculiar Patriot - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1540260514709-J7G5FP4MABUVKDAEDOQ2/Peculiar+Patriot+Tuesday+Preview+NBT_170912+_341.jpg The Peculiar Patriot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1542149125380-0YJCO30XJ16P8CHRUW63/Peculiar+Patriot+NBT+Sun+Prod+Stills+_170917+_264.jpg The Peculiar Patriot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1556742246990-ISG9MAV17PQ50RTISKID/fLFwLGng.jpeg The Peculiar Patriot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1557699787400-VNTIYH7Z96OI24910XW9/Xr_SpJRQ.jpeg The Peculiar Patriot https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1556744128518-PWC1XAH2C44LTY1NAS4T/IN3aLmhg.jpeg The Peculiar Patriot https://www.lizajessiep.com/downtherabbithole daily 0.75 2018-11-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1542078135737-PQT9TSEA37TRSLVLSF0K/IMG_4470.JPG Down the Rabbit Hole https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1542142063752-QCD7E9FQLURGXU88DZE1/EC999418-4CF0-4947-A26E-11C3C11BF30D.JPEG Down the Rabbit Hole https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1542078611432-36CAY9DXQS5ER03HWYD7/IMG_4463.JPG Down the Rabbit Hole https://www.lizajessiep.com/allday daily 0.75 2022-03-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1542147663875-IF90R2MIEWLVGRR7PD0Z/ALL+DAY+book+cover.png All Day: A Memoir https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1542148032305-L42JLS5WIRCPWK39CS3L/%2BALL+DAY+HERO_sansText%5B1%5D.jpg All Day: A Memoir https://www.lizajessiep.com/poetry daily 0.75 2025-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1542586312300-33R9AH6DH3NFHKJRD503/Microphones.jpg Poetry https://www.lizajessiep.com/gangstagoddess daily 0.75 2019-10-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1572554529906-TVWLLNIB9K76P6E0WVA9/Resized_20191031_162334.jpg Gangsta Goddess https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1572554274957-EINV0II4Q28OBH6H0FSF/Resized_20191031_162233.jpg Gangsta Goddess https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1572554106350-PR470WAYAH2QORM324YA/IMG_20191016_000940_753.jpg Gangsta Goddess https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1572554106350-PR470WAYAH2QORM324YA/IMG_20191016_000940_753.jpg Gangsta Goddess https://www.lizajessiep.com/merlina daily 0.75 2025-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/8056258d-6410-4be4-ac8e-dc9db3ab2d38/Screen+Shot+2023-02-01+at+11.24.33+AM.png Merlina - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1675268997339-BICS93AUYOWNDQPG1WUO/image0.jpeg Merlina https://www.lizajessiep.com/black-love-manifesto daily 0.75 2025-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/1f68c555-086c-4036-b3ab-c55ff16e6856/Black+Love+Manifesto+cover.jpg Black Love Manifesto - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.lizajessiep.com/angola-do-you-hear-us daily 0.75 2023-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bc5f17c523958d3b4462105/671b7e88-c545-478b-8755-edad7e7f10ab/Angola+Film+poster.jpg Angola Do You Hear Us?
