(04/04/18 4:29am)

This weekend, Duke is invited to celebrate a famous period of African-American culture and dive into the lustrous atmosphere of Manhattan nightclubs saturated with sensual cabaret singers, frisky jazz, gin cocktails and shiny pearls. Starting Friday at 8 p.m., “Ain’t Misbehavin’” will premiere in the Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture and run through Sunday. Set during the years of the Harlem Renaissance, the play tells the story of the black musicians who, as the title suggests, are misbehaving – despite racial tensions, discrimination and prohibition, they are still having the time of their lives, loving, singing and dancing to the beat.

Some know it simply as the world’s most dangerous border; others treat it as a reminder of the war that has persisted between the two neighboring countries for over 60 years. In the coming weeks, Duke students will be given an opportunity to explore the demilitarized zone from an insider’s perspective and develop their own view on the conflict that managed to divide one nation into two.
