Join us at the Watkins for this free screening, a partnership with the I’m So Glad Project and the Lawrence Branch NAACP. From its pre-Civil War roots to today, Kansas City’s unique style of gospel music has influenced every other genre of American music. And it has sustained the people with its positive message: “I’m So Glad, Trouble Don’t Last Always.” This screening is part of Civil War on the Border.

Before the screening we’ll have a duet by LaToya Fleming-Garrett and Ashlé Fleming of St. Luke AME Church.
