..."Don’t miss this one-day festival dedicated to gospel music! We’ll explore the genre through live performances, the St. Louis Sound exhibit, and a screening and discussion of the 1982 documentary Say Amen, Somebody, which shares the intricate history of gospel music in the United States. The film spotlights the story of legendary gospel artist Willie Mae Ford Smith, and much of it was shot in St. Louis. Before the screening, enjoy a conversation with three local gospel legends who are featured in the film: Zella Jackson Price, Dr. Marabeth Gentry, and Ethel Foster. Monica Butler, founder of the Gospel Music Hall of Fame–Missouri, will emcee this event. Café St. Louis by Pure will have a chili bar and soft drinks available for purchase from 12 to 3:30pm."...
