New Play Honors Black Nurses In The US Military At Fort Huachuca 

Los Angeles, CA  -- "Fort Huachuca: A Tale of Sisterhood, Patriotism, and Race" is a debut production written by emerging actress and playwright Ailema Sousa and directed by Amen Igbinosun. A play set in Arizona on an army base camp, the story focuses on the contributions and sacrifices made by the African-American women’s army auxiliary corps (WAAC's) during World War II.

Ailema, who is a British native, developed the concept two years ago after failing to find a film or play about World War II that featured Black women as main or supporting characters in a narrative.

After doing some extensive research, she then discovered the pivotal and influential contributions that African-American women made during that time.

With the success of stories and films such as Hidden Figures and more recently Black Panther, she felt that a story like Fort Huachuca is needed now more than ever. "People obviously want to see a different narrative, and they want to see themselves reflected on screen and on stage," Ailema says.
