Cambridge Forum welcomes singer, actor, and performer JACK LANDRON as he shares his memories of traveling to Mississippi during Freedom Summer.
Fifty years ago the Civil Rights Movement, which was culminating nationally with the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, came to Harvard Square in music. Club 47, predecessor to the current Club Passim, booked African American artists active in the Southern Civil Rights Movement.
What did these performers experience in Harvard Square? How did their music resonate in Cambridge?
For the past fifty years, Cambridge Forum has provided free public forums for the discussion of the issues and ideas that are shaping our world. From culture to technology, the environment to public policy, Cambridge Forum offers citizens vital information about the challenges facing contemporary society.
Forum programs, which are edited and produced for subsequent broadcast on public radio stations nation-wide, feature the nation's most noted thinkers, creators, social entrepreneurs, and leaders from the worlds of academia, business, government, media and the arts. Programs are held in Harvard Square with book sales provided by Harvard Book Store.
