Spring 2022 Music and History Series

The Living Legacy Project offers a new three-part series for 2022 including music, storytelling, and history.  

March 9, 2022 - A View from the Bridge
In this program we will honor the legacy of the voting rights struggle. We will recall how America was changed by those 600 women, children and men on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Our 7:30 p.m. EST concert will feature award-winning songwriters Rev. Robert Jones, Crys Matthews, and Alastair Moock. Their brilliantly crafted and timely songs will serve to connect that past to our present-day reality. They will inspire us to redefine and expand our efforts toward justice and inclusion in this landscape of challenge and change.

April 13, 2022 - Why You Should Know About Wharlest and Exerlena Jackson 
Join us for an hour of song and conversation with Prof. Paula C. Johnson, Gabriela Groman of the Cold Case Justice Initiative at Syracuse University College of Law and Wharlest and Exerlena;'s children, Denise Jackson Ford and Wharlest Jackson, Jr., to learn about heroes of the Civil Rights era who are only beginning to receive the honor and recognition they deserve. 

May 11, 2022 - Gullah Geechee Culture in Song and Story
Singer/songwriter Melanie DeMore returns to the Living Legacy Project, accompanied by world-renowned storyteller, Diane Ferlatte. Together, they will immerse us in the world of Gullah Geechee culture. Take a journey with us to the southeast US coast and learn the extraordinary role of Gullah Geechee people in embodying their freedom story and engaging in the Civil Rights Movement. 

Programs start at 4:30 pm PT, 5:30 pm MT, 6:30 pm CT, 7:30 pm ET and run for one-hour, followed by a half-hour question and answer post-discussion.
All programs are free and open to the public. Registration is required and donations are appreciated. Register for one, two or all three programs.
