CELEBRATE THE CHILDREN OF RESISTANCE is a scripted dramatic program that honors Ethel and Julius Rosenberg's resistance on the 54th anniversary of their execution and celebrates the courage of those who continue that legacy today. Words of activist families across several generations are intertwined with music and poetry in an event that embraces the history of progressive struggle and inspires a commitment to social justice.
