Harper College is presenting "Driving Miss Daisy" weekends Aug. 30 through Sept. 8.
The timeless Pulitzer Prize-winning play tells the warmhearted, humorous and poignant tale of a decades-long relationship between an elderly, stubborn white Southern matriarch and her proud but soft-spoken African-American chauffeur. Amid the backdrop of the country's civil rights movement, the pair's unlikely bond transcends prejudice and celebrates the transformative power of friendship.
