All residents who love to sing are welcomed to participate
Let
History
Touch Your Soul...Let Freedom Sing
Imagine...Yourself
standing in a place that Harriet Tubman once stood
Imagine...Yourself
singing songs in your ancestors own language
Imagine...Singing
songs that gave former slaves strength and slave-owners confusion
Imagine...Singing
with family, friends and neighbors, gaining inner strength
from the stories of
true over comers
Imagine...Singing
while lifting up the trap door that hid the slaves and
lifting up your spirit at
the same time.
Now imagine...singing
on a program in a 300 year old church, whose parishioners
were abolitionists.
And hear Sojourner Truth, African drummers, and fiery preachers
YOU CAN EXPERIENCE IT

 CORETTA
SCOTT KING
April 27, 1927 - Jan. 30, 2006
Human Rights Advocate...AND SHE SANG
At Antioch College, King majored in music and education. During this time, King
was also a music student, learning the violin as well as studying singing and
piano. She sang in the choir at the Second Baptist Church in Springfield, Ohio,
and gave her first solo concert there in 1948. By the time she graduated in
1951, she had decided to become a professional singer rather than a
schoolteacher and had been accepted by the New England Conservatory of Music in
Boston.
