Recommended for ages 8+.
This San Antonio Public Library event is in partnership with Musical Bridges Around the World, a local nonprofit arts organization and producers of “The Quilt: A Living History of African American Music”. The film is an educational documentary recommended for ages 8+ that explores the music genres born and formed by African American history and culture and how music of the past connects with that of the present, just like the layers of a quilt.
