I'm Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center and welcome to

We The People, a weekly show of constitutional debate. The National Constitution Center is the only

institution in America chartered by Congress to disseminate information about the U.S. Constitution

on a non-partisan basis. On today's show we feature a remarkable panel and happening

at the National Constitution Center.

Hannibal Lacombe is composer in residence at the Philadelphia Orchestra. He is a musician, a jazz trumpeter, and a profit who wrote an extraordinary piece, Crucifixion,

resurrection, Nine Souls Traveling,

which premiered at the historic Mother Bethel African American Methodist Episcopal Church, the oldest African American

Church in America not long ago.

The Mass commemorates the anniversary of the September 1963 bombings of the 16th Street Baptist

Church in Birmingham, Alabama, as well as the anniversary of the recent bombings in Charleston and as part of the extraordinary

premiere of this moving spiritual unforgettable mass the

Constitution Center hosted a panel.

With Hannibal Lacumbe, he was joined by Sarah Collins Rudolph, the survivor of the 16th Street

bombings in Birmingham, as well as of the

16th Street bombings in Birmingham,

as well as Steve Levingston,

non-fiction editor of the Washington Post

who's written a riveting new book,

Kennedy and King, about the relationship between those two great men

which also talks about the Birmingham bombing. No one who is at the program will

ever forget it and I'm excited to share it with you now. Let's get started. Thank you. Oh, Oh, uh, oh, uh, uh, uh, Oh, I'm not. I'm going to see. Oh, Oh, the Oh, the and I'm the Thank you. Wow, Hannibal, that was overwhelming. That was searing and powerful and sad and unforgettable.
