A free screening of “Waiting in the Wings: African Americans in Country Music,” is set for 2 p.m. June 30 at the Fayetteville Public Library. The event is a celebration of the 15th anniversary of Northwest Arkansas Events Unlimited, led by Gwen Kelly, and a celebration of Black Music Month. The film’s co-creators, Karla Winfrey and Henri Giles, will be in attendance.

“The magnificent thing about country music is that it truly resonates with an audience as diverse as the performers we will be celebrating,” says Gwen Kelly, founder and Chief Entertainment Officer for Events Unlimited. “As a Chicago native, I too have fond memories of exploring country music while listening to artists such as Barbara Mandrell, Reba McIntire, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Alabama, along with always having an appreciation for those artists that were able to successfully cross over into country music, such as incomparable artists like Ray Charles, the Pointer Sisters and country music legend Charley Pride.”

Immediately following the screening, there will be a talk-back discussion to answer questions and discuss the past, present and future of country music.

Doors open at 1:30, and reservations can be made at Eventbrite.com.
