Music Is Love – Pass It On!

EXHIBIT & ROAD SHOW

In November 2024, MELO partnered with the Martin Luther King Jr. Public Library in Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian Institution to create a live exhibit and film screening experience.

Following the event in Washington, D.C., MELO developed a 30’x50’ road show featuring screenings and performances. Beginning in March 2025, the exhibit will be displayed at several key colleges, universities, and cultural venues in the suburban Chicago (Aurora) area, supported by the Dunham Foundation.

MELO’s goal is to bring this exhibit experience to colleges, universities, and cultural venues across the United States to educate audiences on the importance of the Green Book, Black musicians, and the role they played during segregation.

We Need Your Support

MELO is actively seeking funding to bring the Road Show experience to as many communities as possible across the United States. To support the ongoing exhibition, MELO plans to establish a dedicated fund to cover the costs of shipping, travel, staffing, and duplication of the experience. This initiative aims to ensure that the educational and cultural impact of the exhibit, highlighting the significance of the Green Book and Black musicians during segregation, reaches diverse audiences nationwide.
