Tonight celebrate making it halfway through the week by taking in a free concert!  Wednesday WindDown features live concerts by some of the best music acts in town. Enjoy everything from jazz to contemporary music performed live on stage. This week the featured act is Rio Negro Latin Jazz. If dinnertime hunger sets in, there’s no need to worry.   Food and drinks are available for purchase at the Fountainside Café, located in the Visitor Center, and around the amphitheater.

Tomorrow head over to Sweet Auburn for two great events. First IMAGE Film & Video and Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site present the Atlanta debut of FEBRUARY ONE, a documentary by Steven Channing, Rebecca Cerese, and Cynthia Hill. Despite hard-fought gains in the fight for racial equality, segregation remained firmly entrenched in 1960s America. February 1, 1960 changed everything. Four college freshmen, now known as the Greensboro Four, sent shockwaves throughout the world by engaging in the first lunch counter sit-in a the downtown Woolworth building. The screening will be at 7:30pm in the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, Visitor Center and is Free. Afterwards check out the new exhibit "Sweet Auburn: Where the Dream Began", which launches tomorrow and will be running through November.
