Visit from Civil Rights Legend Gwen Appling

 

On Saturday-Sunday, February 25-26, Civil Rights legend Gwen Appling will be in residence at BMPC. Gwen is one of the stars of the Academy Award winning film, The Children's March, which tells the story of how the young people of Birmingham, Alabama, braved fire hoses and police dogs in 1963 and brought segregation to its knees. Their heroism complements discussions about the ability of today's young people to be catalysts for positive social change.

 

On Sunday, February 19, at 11:15, you will have the opportunity to screen The Children's March (40 minutes).  

 

On Saturday, February 25, 9:30-11:30 a.m. the Youth Family Ministries, and Fine Arts departments will co-sponsor a special event for children, youth and their families, featuring a 2nd screening of The Children's March and the opportunity to interact with Gwen.

 

On Sunday, February 26, at 11:15, Gwen will be with us to discuss the film and how we might be involved in making a difference in people's lives.

   

Also on Sunday, February 26, we are offering a soul-food luncheon at 12:00 followed by a 2:00 p.m. a concert of music related to the Civil Rights Movement.  Tickets for the luncheon must be purchased in advance ($10 for adults, $5 for children 18 and under).  Contact Stephanie to purchase.  The concert will be free to the public.  An offering will be received.
