AfricanAmericansAgainstAlzheimer’s, an UsAgainstAlzheimer’s network, presents the national award-winning play Forget Me Not at locations across the country. The play, directed by Garrett Davis of the Forget Me Not Project, takes the audience into the life of a family facing Alzheimer’s disease and shows the disease’s impact on relationships among family members, friends, and others in the community. Alzheimer’s affects African Americans at higher rates than other ethnicities, and the battle against the disease requires community-level efforts to prevent, slow, and ultimately cure it.

The showing of the Forget Me Not play is usually followed by a discussion with Mr. Davis and a panel of local Alzheimer’s experts. The experts answer important questions about medical and social services available in their communities and share how researchers are working to find ways to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s.
