Description
The Glen Ellyn Historical Society presents a Concert of Songs of the Civil Rights Movement on Friday, April 29 at 7:00 PM in the Glen Ellyn History Center, 800 N. Main Street. The program is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement and features award winning folksinger Chris Vallillo, performing pivotal songs from the music that inspired and sustained this landmark movement. A combination of music and Vallillo's first hand account of the historic struggle reflects the impact of music to our nation's most important social cause. Songs became the backbone of the nonviolent civil disobedience movement led by Dr. King and others. This is a FREE program that is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council Agency. Refreshments are served.
