Post-film discussion led by Glenn North. Biographical film about Nina Simone, whose dream as a little girl was to be a classical pianist, but instead became one of the most talented jazz singers and musicians. She was also a fierce civil rights activist, a role which (combined with an un-diagnosed bi-polar disorder) eventually led to her self-imposed exile from the United States. This program is presented in partnership with the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group.
