AfricanAmericansAgainstAlzheimer’s, an UsAgainstAlzheimer’s network, will present the national award-winning play, Forget Me Not at Lakeland Cultural Arts Center.
The play, directed by Garrett Davis of the Forget Me Not Project, takes the audience into the life of a family facing Alzheimer’s disease and shows the disease’s impact on relationships between family members, friends and people in the community. Alzheimer’s affects African Americans at higher rates than other ethnicities, and the battle against the disease requires community-level efforts to prevent, slow and cure it.
