Organization Information
Mission Statement
The Power of Song Inc., is a 501c3 non-profit organization that educates and trains youth and communities about the Civil Rights Movement and social justice issues through song, theater and art. Our primary focus is to promote community service and non-violent exchanges and change.
Description
The organization's productions include original works such as its flagship project Sounds of the Civil Rights Movement: The Power of Song, which shares the history of the songs of the Civil Rights Movement, and The Cardboard Stories, which tells the stories behind the faces of homelessness. Sounds of the Civil Rights Movement: The Power of Song serves as the kick-off event for the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service in St. Petersburg, Fla., sponsored by St. Petersburg College. The production, which was born from work with Stanford University history professor Dr. Clayborne Carson and the vision of community service by Florida state Sen. Darryl Rouson, received its initial support from St. Petersburg College and The Dolman Law Group.
