August Wilson African American Cultural Center, City Theatre Company, and DEMASKUS Theater Collective present:

FANNIE: The Music and Life of Fannie Lou Hamer
By Cheryl L. West
Directed by Joy Vandervort-Cobb

Produced in partnership with Kenny Leon's True Colors Theatre Company (Atlanta, GA) and Actors Theatre of Louisville (Louisville, KY)

This event takes place at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center.

This powerful performance celebrates the indomitable courage of civil rights hero Fannie Lou Hamer—a leader in the struggle for voting rights whose activism was infused with spirituals, protest songs, and the conviction that nobody’s free until everybody’s free. Inspired by her life story and filled with her music, FANNIE is a hopeful rallying cry that honors the spirit of a true revolutionary.
