Raymond Federici.

My brother was this years Grand Marshal.
|
Several years ago I had the opportunity
to bring them to our county courthouse in West Chester where
they preformed a skit called "the Wall". |
|
|
In that performance a wall of cardboard
bricks, each brick written with a word: anger, isolation,depression
until a wall is formed between the performer and the audience.
|
Then the skit talks about recovery and
treatment, and slowly each brick is removed and used to create
steps the bricks are turned over and new words appear like
friendship, hope, community. |

 |
The Lehigh county CST provided music after the march ended
at Elmwood Park. They also performed some new stigma skits. |
