As part of its annual Black History Month celebration, �鶹ԭ�� welcomes the community to a special performance of the award-winning play, “The Movement: 50 Years of Love and Struggle.”

“This show is aptly named because you can’t help but be moved by ‘The Movement,’” said Student Activities Coordinator Heather O’Leary. “It’s funny but weighty. It’s a history lesson and a riveting story. It is immensely satisfying. Anyone who attends will leave feeling both informed about the African-American experience and inspired to contribute to a better future for us all.” 

In “The Movement” Emmy Award-winning actor Ron Jones plays 10 different characters, who take the audience on a journey through the ever-changing face of the African American experience. Jones’ performance is supported by interactive video, stock historical footage, quotes, and some of the most memorable music of the last two generations. “The Movement” combines these elements to tell the story of African Americans’ struggles and triumphs in the 50 years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. 

The Boston Globe wrote of “The Movement”: It “puts a human face to the historic timeline.”

“The Movement: Fifty Years of Love and Struggle” will take place in the Building A Conference Center at �鶹ԭ��’s Old Charlotte Highway campus, 4209 Old Charlotte Highway, from 4-5 p.m. on Feb. 18. The performance is free and open to the public. Registration is requested but not required. To register to attend, visit: .
