The Planning Committee in partnership with Lincoln Community Playhouse and community stakeholder HyVee an employee-owned grocery store is honored to premiere the Lincoln Public Schools Library Services production of the documentary We Will Not Be Silent.

We Will Not Be Silent chronicles Lincoln Public Schools fifth grade scholars Eveline, Mohamed, Alex, Alejandra, Payton, Kenadee, Jevon, and Leriya'h their empowerment group advisor, educators, families, school, and community stakeholders through various challenges, a pandemic, social unrest, and their embracement of an opportunity to educate, speak, and touch hearts and minds.

Producers David Koehn and Brian Seifferlein capture what can happen even in a pandemic and time of social unrest when focused on positive intents and love. The end result is a resounding message our community and nation’s collective need to take steps toward equity, justice, civility, and kindness. It is a fantastic showcase of the endless opportunities for growth and positive impacts when we look for them, create them, and keep living with that purpose of serving.

HyVee an employee-owned grocery store is honored to serve as the “Walk Together” premiere sponsor. “Beloved” supporter Lincoln Community Playhouse will serve as host for the invitation-only April 29th premiere and weekend matinees.
