Presented by Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College at Midwest Trust Center at Johnson County Community College

Inspired by the words and action of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., We Shall Overcome showcases repertoire from across African-American music traditions. These songs, interwoven with spoken word from Dr. King’s recorded speeches, will inspire today, just like they electrified civil rights activists and defenders 50 to 60 years ago. Producer and director Damien Sneed will be featured, along with the Kansas City Boys Choir and the Kansas City Girls Choir.
