On September 16, 1963, Nina Simone heard that four Black girls were murdered in Birmingham when the 16th Street Baptist Church was bombed by the KKK. Harnessing her rage, she wrote the Civil Rights anthem “Mississippi Goddam”. Nina Simone: Four Women examines the seismic shift Simone took from artist to activist and revolutionary, and her fight to reflect the times through her consciousness rising music, “Four Women”, “Images” and “Young, Gifted and Black” among others. It questions what happens when artists dive into the darkness of society and self while striving to find the light of freedom in sound.
