In the shadows of Alabama’s 1920s coal mines, a storm is brewing. The coal mines ignite in a fiery strike led by William Baird, whose fight for justice threatens to expose the deep-seated racism poisoning the industry. Based on a true story buried by history, Lest We Forget unearths a forgotten chapter of American history, marred by racism and ignited by the enduring power of love. From USA Today bestselling author Mikel Wilson and bestselling author Kevin Wayne comes a gripping tale of courage, betrayal, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. A story written in blood, whispered in shadows, and finally brought to light. Ticket Price – $20 for all seats (plus tax & convenience fee)
