A Review of Adira Dela Croix 6.0 by Edward Fairley III (Originally published in The Clayton State University Campus Newspaper) In a world full of stories about the struggle of the average African American to find their place in a country that doesn't see them, Adira Dela Croix 6.0 opts to take a much more unique approach by flipping the coin.  Set in the future in 2096, we come to see a world where Texas has become a separate country, there are colonies on the moon in desperate need of resources, and the most pressing social issue on the table is that of "machine rights".  The Cast of Adira Dela Croix 6.0 (L-R) Dante Sellers, Devin A.
