백만인 행진(The Million Man March)은 어떻게 『녹색 삶』(Living Green)을 사는가?

This article aims to connect the Million Man March of 1995 with Gloria Bond Clunie’s play Living Green through the death of Buddy. Clunie suggests that the dream of living green in her play Living Green can be achieved only through the sacrificial death of Buddy. Likewise, it is proposed that the goals of the Million Man March can be achieved at a community level through a ritualized sacrifice, which René Girard conceptualized in his discussion of mimetic desire. Despite the violent events and victimized deaths in the African American community in West Side, the Freeman family, inspired and encouraged by the March, decides to move to the black neighborhood. Their determined action is to make Buddy’s death meaningful and revitalize the black community in a peaceful way.
