Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites

Join us for “Seeds of Freedom: The Spiritual Roots of the American Civil Rights Movement,” a creative exploration of how belief and conviction can change the course of history!  

This production takes the audience on a historical journey predating enslavement – migrating through the transatlantic slave trade to the Civil Rights movement, while highlighting local Indiana connections to historic moments in our nation’s story.  

Using spoken word, dance, call-and-response and music, the rhythm of resilience is relayed in the compelling account of the ongoing struggle for equity and the eradication of racial discrimination of African Americans. See how they found strength, joy, resolve and purpose in the reconciliation and activation of their faith in the face of injustice.  

“Seeds of Freedom” is not only an artistic retelling of our history, but an invitation for reflection and personal response to the call for Unity in helping our country keep its promise to its people of “liberty and justice for all.”  

Price: $3/person
