"When I Rise" Tonight on PBS

 

Don't miss the premiere tonight of When I Rise from Independent Lens (PBS).  The documentary narrates the experiences of Barbara Smith Conrad, African-American opera singer and alumna of UT-Austin.  Produced by the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, the movie documents the bigotry and discrimination Conrad faced while a music student at the University of Texas in the 1950s.  The film is featured Feb. 8 (tonight) at 9 p.m., Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 13 at 3 p.m. CST. For UT's coverage of the story, read here, "The Story of a Voice."
