Town of Apex issued the following announcement on Feb. 13.
Join us at 7 pm this Thursday, February 17th at the Halle Cultural Arts Center of Apex! Reserve your FREE spot today for Mike Wiley Productions - Tired Souls: King and the Montgomery Bus Boycott
Tired Souls: King and the Montgomery Bus Boycott pens in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955 – the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man. Her determination was the catalyst that inspired Montgomery’s black citizens to abandon all travel on city buses until they were no longer forced to sit in the back or stand when a white person boarded. But there were others who came before Mrs. Parks and laid the groundwork for this pivotal moment. Tired Souls introduces audiences to Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colvin and others so instrumental in lighting a fire under the Civil Rights movement and changing the course of U.S. history forever.
The #BlackHistoryMonth celebrations also continue with The Halle Art Gallery Exhibition featuring Charlton Cole. Join us for an artist reception on February 25th from 6:00 - 8:00 pm and view his amazing pieces!
