Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from acclaimed North Carolina Central University professor & musician Dr. Lenora Helm Hammonds about Nina’s early life in North Carolina, the trajectory of her life and career, and her courageous involvement in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s that earned her the title of “Singer of the Black Revolution” – but also cost her deeply. One of North Carolina’s most incredible figures past or present, Nina Simone deserves a top spot in every North Carolina classroom! The program is free and open to anyone interested. A lesson plan will be provided to attending educators and CEUs are available. FREE REGISTRATION for this virtual event is at bit.ly/CK12Nina
