Singing for Freedom: 50 Years Since Selma
5 p.m. Sunday, March 22, Broomfield Auditorium, 3 Community Park Road, Broomfield, 720-887- 2371.
Fifty years ago, America forever changed by ushering in the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Among other things, the time bred a rich history of music and a reawakening of spirituals from the enslaved Africans of America in the 18th and 19th centuries. The songs went on to breathe life in to the civil rights movement and inspire revolution. The Spirituals Project aims to keep the music and lessons alive to be passed down to future generations. On March 22, the 50th anniversary of the voting rights campaign in Selma, Ala., and the passage of voting act will be celebrated with The Spirituals Project Choir.
