A more in-dept explanation of your event (1-2 paragraphs) Performances throughout the day will share the lives of some influential African-American Hoosiers, including pioneering aviator Willa Brown, journalist and activist Lillian Fox and teacher Martin Jenkins. At 11 a.m., 2 and 3 p.m., student trainers from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, one of the most important organizations of the civil rights movement, will introduce audiences to their methods for practicing non-violent protest. At noon and 2 p.m., young artists with Asante Children’s Theatre will share songs of freedom and hope. The theater’s Prepsters will perform a “choreo-poem” version of Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise.” Guests can share their dreams for the future as King did by writing their thoughts and posting them on a Tree of Dreams. A gallery of images of past and present non-violent protests will be on display throughout the day. For a complete list of activities, visit connerprairie.org.
