Executive produced by 15-Time Grammy winner Alicia Keys and produced by Yap Films, this documentary tells the inspiring story of how six iconic African American female entertainers challenged an entertainment industry deeply complicit in perpetuating racist stereotypes and transformed themselves and their audiences in the process.
Origin of Everything
Did you know Martin Luther King Jr Day wasn’t celebrated in all 50 states until 2000? And that in order to create the holiday honoring the civil rights leader we needed help from Stevie Wonder and the National Football League. Why was this the case? How did it all happen?
Revel in modern Southern soul with Nashville’s The War and Treaty and Austin’s Ruthie Foster. The War and Treaty play songs from their acclaimed album Hearts Town, while Foster performs numbers from across her career. Join us tonight at 10 p.m. to enjoy live music from Austin's very own ACL Live!
We are grateful for her influence and for her legacy. ❤️ Thank you, Joanne Rogers, for all your kindness.
Fred Rogers Productions is deeply saddened by the passing of Joanne Rogers. The loving partner of Fred Rogers for more than 50 years, she continued their shared commitment to supporting children and families after his death as chair of the board of Fred Rogers Productions. Joanne was a brilliant and accomplished musician, a wonderful advocate for the arts, and a dear friend to everyone in our organization. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Joanne’s family and the thousands of people who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
