Heading into the week before our final tour date, we really just wanted to highlight the phenomenal musicians that have joined us along this tour.

Everyone has poured their hearts into this project. Truly, thank you to all of these amazing folk:

There is only ONE WEEK until our tour is over 😢

However it's not all bad news! It means we get to bring an incredible show to @Newhampton Arts Centre. Come and celebrate the occasion with us 👇

Our live show isn't just thrown together. This is just a snapshot of everything that goes into what we bring you on stage.

Years of skill, musicianship, blood, sweat AND tears have gone to create the talent that's been brought to Freedom Road💛🖤💛

One of the original SNCC Freedom Fighters, this photo of Stokely Carmichael was taken by Charlie Phillips at Count Suckle's Cue Club, 1967

Charlie's work quite literally documented history, one that would've been lost if not for him. We all owe his work a debt of gratitude💛🖤💛

The band are getting ready for our final show… Are you?

Tickets are available for the final stop of the Freedom Road national tour 👇

Catch you there!

This powerful piece blending photos like this with sixties protest anthems comes to #wolverhampton later this month https://t.co/4T6ZE6Yyrz

A photograph has the power to say far more than we ever could ourselves. They hold power, capture moments, drive the future and preserve the past.

We couldn't have achieved the impact of this project without the photography we included such as this from @dodgylight 💛🖤💛

[NewhamptonArtsCentre @Newhampton]

Proud to be bringing this show to #wolverhampton on 30 September. Tickets on our website.

[Freedom Road Project @FreedomRoadUK]

We're here to achieve many things, this is one of the most important 👏🏾 We're all about resilience, determination, and pride ✊🏾

Did someone say living legend? Yes, they were talking about Jessica Lauren!

Jessica has been an integral part of this entire project and we can't thank her enough, so show some love! 💛🖤💛

We've said this before, but it's TRULY an honour to be able to share the works of Charlie Phillips as part of this project

The Guardian did a feature-length piece on Charlie's work, learn just a tiny bit of Charlie's story and why his work is so crucial👇
