A petition to cancel a CUNY school production of an opera about Emmett Till written by a white woman was gaining steam Saturday.

Watkins, who is black, “explores themes of social justice, the flaws within the justice system, white silence and allyship, racial inequality and the complexities of the human experience,” according to its synopsis.alleged the opera frames the tragedy through the eyes of a “fictional progressive white woman,” a teacher in the production.
A representative for Coss and Watkins said Bishop’s assertation that the story centers around the teacher is incorrect, saying the plot actually focuses around Till’s activist mother, Mamie Till-Mobley.
