The Color Purple

Since we can’t bring everyone into our small living room, we decided to bring the living room to the people.  In fact, we decided the best way to that was to bring a couch out into the public and have people share a story– a personal story while sitting on the couch.  The key was that the couch had to be a very special couch, a couch that would be symbolic of the best of our humanity.  We concluded that the couch could only be one color,  the color purple.
