check out the apollo uptown hall: movement required event on sept. 30th

The Apollo Theater will host The Apollo Uptown Hall: Movement Required on September 30, 2017. Motivated by the themes from the Apollo’s October 2017 opera, We Shall Not Be Moved, the event will feature an excerpt of the award-winning documentary Let the Fire Burn, which covers one of the most tumultuous and largely-forgotten clashes between government and citizens in modern American history. A panel discussion focusing on some of today’s most prevalent problems in America, including tensions between law enforcement and community relations, as well as the lack of youth and family services, will follow. What can we do within our communities? What can New Yorkers learn from Philadelphia initiatives, and vice-versa? And can the arts help?

Co-moderated by Imhotep Gary Byrd from New York City’s WBAI-FM and Solomon Jones from Philadelphia’s WURD-AM/FM.
