This Little Light of Mine

The words of this song, which many of us know by heart, hold a unique power to inspire. And we like to think the words apply especially well to Jackson. After all, this is a city where you catch glimpses of a bright shining movement everywhere you look. In the photos dotting the walls of local gathering spots. The sounds reverberating through the music venues, concert halls, and choir lofts. In the vibrant art spaces and museums. And in the faces of the people you meet. We invite you to experience the Freedom Movement in the city with light, spirit, and soul unlike anywhere else.
