This April, join the Delaware Historical Society for Saturday film screenings celebrating Arab American Heritage Month, Jazz Appreciation Month, and Earth Month. Screenings are available with admission to the Delaware History Museum.

On April 12, in honor of Jazz Appreciation Month, we’ll screen “Brownie Speaks,” a feature-length documentary about the life, legacy, and music of Wilmington’s own Clifford Brown.

Jazz trumpeter Clifford Brown made an outstanding and influential contribution to music. This film presents a richly detailed account of Brown’s life, which was tragically cut short in a car accident when he was just 25 years old, and examines his historical importance in the context of three criteria–innovation, influence, and individuality.
