In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, igniting the non-violent U.S. Civil Rights Movement that continues to inspire people around the world. Composer Hannibal Lokumbe's music for soloists and chorus celebrates Mrs. Parks' enduring legacy. The 2007 WITNESS Young People's Concert will feature Lokumbe's music and engage students in songs of freedom from around the world. The concert will feature the full 130-voice VocalEssence Chorus with orchestra and soloists, including Jevetta Steele, who sang the world premiere of Dear Mrs. Parks with the Detroit Symphony in February, 2005, and baritone Kevin Deas.
