In conjunction with ESFL’s performances of “Down in Mississippi”, join us for the screening of two films that add to the conversation about the history of civil rights and music in the American South.

On Monday, March 27 at 7pm we will screen “Let Freedom Sing: How Music Inspired the Civil Rights Movement” (2009) and on April 3 we will show “Freedom On My Mind” (1994).

“Let Freedom Sing” is a documentary about the singers and musicians who stood up against inequality and racism, and gave the civil rights movement its anthems and its soul.
