YOUNG JOHN LEWIS
Book & Lyrics by Psalmayene 24
Music by Eugene H. Russell IV
At the Theatrical Outfit in Atlanta from June 4-29, 2025. Tickets and more information on the hip hop musical available here.
Written by hip hop & spoken word playwright Psalmayene 24 with all original music composed by Atlanta composer Eugene H. Russell IV, this new hip hop musical examines the ten crucial years in the early life of the congressman, and his journey from student activist to major leader in the Civil Rights movement – all by the time he was 28. This innovative journey dares to ask how we grow into the courage of our convictions and offers a fresh perspective on one of the most dynamic periods in American History. The time has come to make some good trouble!
