In celebration of Black History Month, Michigan State University’s College of Arts & Letters, in partnership with St. Stephen’s Community Church and the Lansing Public Media Center, is hosting a showing of the 1943 Black musical “Stormy Weather,” starring Lena Horne and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, among other musical greats.

“In the aftermath of the tragedy on the MSU campus, this Black History Month Film in the Community program will now also serve as a needed gathering for the broader MSU and Greater Lansing community — one that is filled with a spirit of grace and uplift,” said Jeff Wray, MSU’s Timnick chair in the humanities.
