About

Ebony Readers/ Onyx Theater was founded under the Black Student Movement as a collective after the merger of Ebony Readers, a spoken word group, and Onyx Theater, a theater collective in 1979. The two groups formed what is now EROT, as a safe space on UNC's campus to provide a platform for students of color to write, perform and commune among those who have similar experience as a minority at a Predominately White Institution. Although membership in EROT is not by any means limited to students of color, the organization was founded to ensure the prioritization of black voices, black issues, and black experiences.
