Featuring a post-screening performance by The Male Chorus of The First Baptist Church of Spring Valley.
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.
Unfortunately, The Anointed Voices of St. John Deliverance Tabernacle have had to cancel their appearance. Instead, we are pleased to present a post-screening performance by The Male Chorus of The First Baptist Church of Spring Valley.
Shortlisted for Best Documentary Academy Award 2009
