In 2011, I co-produced and co-created the score for a documentary film called “Separate, But Equal”. This is a film was about the photographer, Henry Clay Anderson, whose photographs captured the birth of the black middle class during legal segregation in Greenville, Mississippi. These photographs and the stories behind them we feature in our film, are on exhibit in this incredible new museum! Visiting this museum with the Director of our film, Shawn Wilson was extra special.

I could not be more proud to be associated in  with this important and historically relevant place in America. I also sing the African American National Anthem in the soundtrack and the lyrics by James Weldon Johnson are so powerful:
Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.
