The instrumental music piece "Legacy"
was first played at an exhibit of |
| creative work by survivors of sexual assault.
In October of 1990, at the John |
| Street School in Providence, Rhode Island,
Frank gave a brief speech where |
| he publicly revealed his name and that of
his perpetrator, ex-priest James |
| Robert Porter. After this introduction,
Frank played "Legacy" and also sang |
| a song called "Questions." |
| |
The live performance by dancers, readers,
poets, and musicians was a |
| one-day event, but the art display was on
exhibit for two weeks. Healing |
| Pieces was organized by the Rhode
Island Rape Crisis Center. |
| |
As time passed, and things began developing
in the fight to expose Porter |
| - who had never stopped sexually abusing
children - Frank wrote more |
| music, later integrated it into his speeches,
and then called the entire work |
| Legacy of the Priest. |
| |
In the future, Legacy will be transformed
into a full-scale dramatic work. |
