The Parade: a Summary and What it Meant to Me.
The play The Parade is a story about a Jewish man, Leo Frank native of Brooklyn New York, who marries a southern Jewish woman who lives in Atlanta in 1913. Leo moves to Atlanta because Lucille, his wife, has an uncle who will provide Leo with a very good job managing a factory. The people of Atlanta do not take easily to Leo Frank because he is different being a Jewish Yankee. He does not speak like they do and he does not keep the same holidays as they do. .
The play began with Atlanta celebrating the "Southern" way of life. On that same day, one of the young girls who worked in Leo Frank's factory was murdered. With no other suspect and needing one fast, the town accused Leo of having killed young Mary Phagan. The only evidence the town had to incriminate Leo Frank was the sole fact that he was an outsider and not just any outsider, but a Jewish Yankee. Leo could not have been any more opposite than the people of Atlanta if he had tried and the people of Atlanta hated what was different therefore giving them the "just" evidence that Leo Frank was the killer. With a most outrageous trial, an innocent Leo Frank was found guilty of murder. He was then sentenced to death by hanging. Scared and determined not to see her husband die in vain, Lucile Frank worked vigorously to find and demonstrate the many flaws that were so obvious in Leo's trial. By illustrating the errors that were in the trial, Lucile was able to convince the governor of Atlanta that there was cause for an appeal. The governor then changed to death sentence to a life sentence and moved Leo from his original holding cell to another location unbeknown to the peoples of Atlanta. This infuriated the people of Atlanta who demanded that he be put to death. The people of Atlanta inevitably found where Leo was taken and preceded to hang him anyway.
All along, buried in the story there was a love story.
