The story of the American civil rights movement, told through the powerful music sung on picket lines, in mass meetings, and in jail cells. The infectious energy of these freedom songs, which evolved from slave chants, the labor movement, and the black church, helped empower people to fight for their rights and face brutal aggression with non-violence.

Join us for a post-film performance by The Male Chorus
of the First Baptist Church from Spring Valley.
