Bob Kealing (Author) & Rev. C. Wirtz (WMNF Radio)

The Villages Blues Society will host author Bob Kealing and WMNF radio personality Rev. Billy C. Wirtz for a screening of their film

"The Florida Chitlin` Circuit"

This will be a 45-minute documentary that explores Florida's vibrant mid-20th-century circuit for Black entertainers.   Through interviews with R&B and blues legends the film offers stories from those who lived and loved the scene. 

The Chitlin’ Circuit was the collective name given to a series of Black-owned nightclubs, dance halls, juke joints, theaters and other venues that were safe and acceptable for African American entertainers to perform in during segregation.

**Music and question and answer session will follow.**
