September 16, 1963. The day after the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama led Nina Simone to shift her career from artist to artist-activist as she believed, "an artist's responsibility is to reflect the times." Nina Simone: Four Women uses the framework of one of her most blistering songs - "Four Women" - to give voice to the stereotypical characters of Aunt Sarah, Sephronia, Sweet Thing, and Peaches. This “play with music” includes some of Nina Simone's most popular civil rights anthems, including "Mississippi Goddam," "Go Limp," and "Young, Gifted and Black”.
