The afternoon brings together three powerf ul experiences: Music in Common&rsquo\;s \;Black Legacy Project\, feat uring songs\, stories\, and multimedia performances that trace Black histo ry\; a spoken-word showcase hosted by Nina Ligon\; and a bold\, interactiv e social justice improv performance from the CFA Repertory Theatre&rsquo\; s &ldquo\;Say It Loud&rdquo\;. \;
\nAs we mark 250 years of Amer ican democracy &mdash\; and the unfinished work to make it real for all &m dash\; this experience draws a direct line from the Civil Rights Movement to today\, using music as a force to bring people together and inspire cha nge.
\nThis mic belongs to the people\, and that means you! Whether you have a song\, a poem\, a story passed down in your family\, or somethi ng you've been waiting to say out loud\, we want to hear it. You don't hav e to be a professional artist\, just someone with something to share. Come as you are\, bring your voice\, and help us celebrate 250 years of democr acy and the unfinished work of making it real for all.
