The Ash Grove Summer Series kicks off with this special presentation: Juneteenth, featuring Alabama singer Bettie Mae Fikes, who was a leading voice of the Freedom Singers of the Civil Rights Movement, celebrated blues man Bernie Pearl, poet S. Pearl Sharp, and the Get Lit Players--known as teen wizards of poetry. June 19th is an important date in the fight for civil rights, marking the anniversary of the date that slaves in Texas learned of their freedom, though the Confederacy had surrendered months earlier. Come celebrate with this fabulous selection of performers. Refreshments, CDs and more will be available for sale.
