“The Girl Who ‘Married’ a Girl” – Washington Post, May 10, 1914
“‘Girl-Man’ Taken Into Custody in the Cream City,” Racine Journal News, March 31, 1915
The story made for sensational headlines in the 1910’s: how could “pretty Cora Anderson” ‘deceive’ the world and live amongst the public as Ralph Kerwineo? The extraordinary tale sold a lot of papers, but Ralph’s lived experience as a man of color was buried in the wave of publicity. His story goes largely untold to this day. Beginning October 7, Emerald Condor Productions brings the true story of Ralph Kerwineo to the stage for the first time.
