An Afternoon with Nnenna Freelon

Join seven-time GRAMMY® Award nominee Nnenna Freelon for an inspiring afternoon of conversation, storytelling, and live music at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. As part of her Atlanta residency, Freelon will share insights from her acclaimed memoir, Beneath the Skin of Sorrow: Improvisations on Loss, and perform selections inspired by her recent album, Beneath the Skin. Known for blending song, personal reflection, and storytelling, her appearances offer audiences a unique experience that is equal parts performance and discussion. Through her music, writing, and award-winning creative work, Freelon explores themes of resilience, healing, and human connection, inviting audiences to reflect on the power of art to help us navigate life’s most profound challenges. This program is free with museum admission and will take place in the Global Human Rights Gallery: Everyone. Everywhere.
