From Birmingham Jail
PLAY BEGINS AT 7 PM
In April 1963, the Civil Rights Campaign in Birmingham, Alabama was intensifying on the city’s streets as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sat in his jail cell, imprisoned for participating in the nonviolent demonstrations against segregation, composing a letter in response to criticisms of the campaign. In honor of Black History Month, watch the recreation of a powerful piece of history that unfolded during this time of unrest.
