FREE CONCERT! You're invited to join us as we celebrate the commemoration of MLK Weekend 2025 at Beulah Baptist Church with this Natchez Festival of Music Event. Sponsored by the Historic City of Natchez.

Explore the rich tapestry of history and resilience in Mississippi, a state deeply intertwined with the pivotal moments of the civil rights movement in this musical program featuring Alvin Shelby.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s indomitable leadership left an indelible mark on Mississippi, where the battle for equality and justice raged fiercely. From the courageous Freedom Rides to the empowering voter registration drives, Mississippi served as a vital battleground for King's vision of a more inclusive society. Through Dr. King's unwavering perseverance and message of peace, Mississippians found the strength to stand up against oppression and discrimination.

Join us as we honor this legacy and celebrate the enduring spirit of hope and progress that defines Mississippi's storied past.

Admission is free and open to the public. Donations are encouraged. Reserve your free ticket online at https://eventbrite.com/e/songs-from-the-battleground-tickets-1031270215977

"We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January
And this is our place, we make the rules
And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you, dear
Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?"
..did Taylor Swift write this song about Natchez?
