Struggle for Freedom at Southbury Library on January 25 celebrates the work and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the context of the American Civil Rights Movement.
Featuring songs from the era, this production offers the audience the opportunity to experience the heroic work of Rosa Parks as she refuses to give up her seat, the March on Washington and many more of the key moments that shaped both the Movement and our country.
