We all know Nina Simone as an iconic creator and performer, but did you know she was a powerful voice for the Civil Rights Movement and used her music to address the issues of racism, segregation, and inequality that were prevalent in the 1950s and 1960s?
Her powerful voice and emotive performances made her music a rallying call for the Civil Rights Movement, and her songs continue to be celebrated as important pieces of the movement’s cultural and historical legacy.
Join us as we pay tribute to her art and activism through song, dance, poetry and visual art at Harriett’s Bookshop, with performances by Bethlehem & Sad Patrick.
