The Laramie Project–10 Years Later
September 8th, 2009 by Admin
The Laramie Project —10 Years Later will debut in more than 100 theaters in all 50 states and seven countries Oct. 12, the 11th anniversary of Matthew Shepard’s death. The sequel to the play about the murder is based on new interviews with people in Laramie and with Aaron McKinney, one of two men convicted in the killing. Matthew’s mother, Judy Shepard says she became “a mom on a mission,” working for hate-crime legislation, began a tour to promote her book, The Meaning of Matthew: My Son’s Murder in Laramie, and a World Transformed.Â
The Matthew Shepard Act would extend federal protections to people victimized because of sexual orientation.Â
