2023-06-22, 2023-06-23, 2023-06-24, 2023-06-25, 2023-06-26, 2023-06-27, 2023-06-28, 2023-06-29 | Civil War Museum, 5400 1st Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
The 1960 –1970 decade was a momentous time for the civil rights movement in the American South. It was an historic decade that unleashed both hope for the future and profound change as public spaces were desegregated and as African Americans secured their right to vote. I AM A MAN: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1960–1970 displays a wide range of photographs taken by amateurs, local photojournalists, and internationally known photographers. Together, they provide a vivid visual story of the evolution of the civil rights movement and shed light on the movement’s integration in the daily living in the American South.

BILL SERRITELLA & ELLIOT WIMBUSH- Lakeside Deck
2023-06-24 18:00 - 19:30 | Lakeside Deck at the Wyndham Garden Hotel, 5125 6th Avenue, Kenosha, WI, 53140, United States
The sounds of Sinatra…the ultimate crooner himself. They say he was an entertainer without equal. The love affair that the world had with Frank can be heard through the recreation that is the hallmark of a Bill Serritella performance. Having brought the music from the “Chairman of the Board” to life, Serritella has toured from state to state bringing the stylings of Sinatra to a national audience. His interpretations of those magical hits are almost note for note. Bill concentrates on the sound. If you close your eyes you can see Frank singing those songs directly to you. When you open your eyes you see a working class guy from the “Nort’west side” of Chicago. He grew up listening to these tunes over and over as they were played in his childhood home.
