Some of the movie film’s characters will be highlighted at the annual celebration.
Karole Graham, Stephen Perry and S. Pearl Sharp were cast members in the movie produced by Gordon Parks 50 years ago and are the recipients of the “Gordon Parks Choice of Weapons Award” for 2019.

“We are very thrilled that we were able to bring Queen Bey back to Fort Scott once again through this grant,” said Kirk Sharp, Gordon Parks Museum Director.
Queen Bey’s wide repertoire of jazz and blues standards and innovative and often unknown songs are drawn from her first-hand experience working with the legends of jazz and blues.
Queen first began performing at the age of twelve years old and at the time met Billie Holiday. Jazz greats such as Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, and Ella Fitzgerald became her chaperones and her teachers
. Queen has performed with B.B. King, The Platters and jazz pianist Earl Garner.
In 1980, Ms. Bey received the Kansas Governor’s Arts Award and was one of the honorees at the 1991 induction of the Elder statesman of Kansas City’s Jazz, Inc.
She is officially recognized as Kansas City’s Ambassador of Jazz and 2016 was inducted to the American Jazz Walk of Fame.
Ms. Bey has acted on stage and television and in film, including Broadway musicals- Ain’t Misbavin, One Mo’ Time and Blues in the Night.
Tickets are $25 each. Please reserve you ticket by Wednesday, Oct 2, 2019.

The Story of Irena Sendler Explained to Children
Irena Sendler’s story is so inspiring and yet so very sad.
The Polish social worker smuggled Jewish children to safe places as the Jews were being annihilated by the Nazis in World War II.
The story was discovered by three Uniontown High School students 20 years ago and changed the lives of all involved.
Sept. 19 the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes, one of the outshoots of that discovery of Sendler’s story, hosted a book signing.
The book is entitled Mommy Who Was Irena Sendler? by local children’s author Cathy Werling. It is a book that explains the story in a way children can understand.
The book depicts Megan Felt, who was one of the students who discovered Sendler, telling the heartbreaking story one woman’s courage, to her daughter Blair.
“I try to spark conversations,” Werling said. “My books are ones that parents read to their children and answer some of the questions.”
Mommy Who Was Irena Sendler? is the third children’s book in her series about humble heroes.
Werling believes that by sharing these stories, it helps children understand the power of one person to make a positive difference in the world around them.
The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes is located in downtown Fort Scott, Kansas at the corner of Wall and Main Street.
