The Detroit Parks Coalition and People for Palmer Park will present a free concert and art showcase as part of the Freedom Arts Festival to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Detroit Walk to Freedom, a massive civil rights march held on June 23, 1963. The free celebration at Palmer Park will commemorate the Detroit Walk to Freedom with various art displays and live musical performances from Marion Hayden and Freedom Sounds—featuring Marion Hayden on bass, A. Spencer Barefield on guitar, Alvin Waddles on piano, Tariq Gardner on drums and Isis Damil on vocals. Freedom Sounds will perform music of the Civil Rights era—exploring themes of freedom, activism, spirituality and resistance through the lens of artists such as Max Roach, Donny Hathaway, Bob Marley and the Jazz, R&B, Reggae and Gospel traditions—along with original works by Marion Hayden and A. Spencer Barefield. The Freedom Sounds concert invites guests to explore our shared humanity and reflect on Dr. King's dream—through music. Following the Freedom Sounds performance, attendees can enjoy a reggae dance party with King Mellowman and Mellow Runnings with the liberating sounds of Reggae, Caribbean, R&B and more.
