Community Sing Along: Songs of Civil Rights

This Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the DIA and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History are proud to present Community Sing Along: Songs of Civil Rights, a participatory concert celebrating the power of music to unite people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. Whether you’re a seasoned vocalist or simply love to sing, everyone is invited to raise their voices.  

In this program, presented in partnership with multiple local choral organizations, you’ll be backed by a stellar band of Detroit-based singers and musicians, and lyrics will be provided!  The program will feature spoken-word performances by InsideOut Detroit Literary Arts Program and songs from historic social movements expressing themes of togetherness and unity in the spirit of Dr. King.

Prior to the Sing Along, join us for a self-guided tour of our newly installed African American Galleries. After the event, march with us to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History for more dynamic programs. Register to reserve your seat at the DIA for this impactful free event!

Capacity is limited; seating begins half an hour before the performance starts. Registration not required and does not guarantee seating.
