Fall of Freedom is an open invitation to artists, creators and culture workers to stand for democracy and for the freedom to tell the full story.In the spirit of Nina Simone, who said an artist’s duty is to reflect the times, Fall of Freedom is building cultural roadblocks to defend artistic expression and truth-telling without fear of retaliation.No artist reflected the times more powerfully than Billie Holiday whose recording of “Strange Fruit” was named Song of the Century by Time magazine in 1999 and included in the National Recording Registry in 2002. “Strange Fruit” remains a timeless act of resistance.During Fall of Freedom weekend of resistance, join All That Philly Jazz and Scribe Video Center for a walking tour of Billie Holiday’s Philadelphia. The walking tour will be guided by Faye Anderson, whose advocacy led to Billie’s induction into the Philadelphia Walk of Fame.We’ll visit the venues where Billie sang, the hotels where she stayed, and the site of the jazz club immortalized in the Tony Award®-winning “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill.” Along the way, we'll stop at places connected to Nina Simone and Paul Robeson, artists who, like Billie, used their voices to speak truth to power.Together, we’re reclaiming the narrative through art, memory, and collective action.https://youtu.be/Web007rzSOI?si=hrNU3W94ELfJQ4Mp https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/9495cab0-b9d6-11f0-b18d-2de9eb7cb3fc-rimg-w1200-h228-dc0e71b4-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/950666d0-b9d6-11f0-b18d-2de9eb7cb3fc-rimg-w1200-h312-dc060101-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/95daa6c0-b9d6-11f0-91c5-2b5efab58087-rimg-w1200-h272-dc020101-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/philadelphia/fall-of-freedom-billie-holidays-philadelphia-walking-tour/100001947707287929 - **Event Categories**: art, holiday, music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Philadelphia - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Academy of Music - **lat**: 39.94798369999999 - **long**: -75.1648981 - **full address**: Academy of Music, 240 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Fall of Freedom: Billie Holiday's Philadelphia Walking Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b7f27ebac958790ce0011e3a6f1a2d48af677fd7be988d6f8378ae58bf28aa35-rimg-w1135-h896-dc484848-gmir.jpg?v=1762299182 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Fall of Freedom: Billie Holiday's Philadelphia Walking Tour being held? - **A:** Fall of Freedom: Billie Holiday's Philadelphia Walking Tour takes place on Sat, 22 Nov, 2025 at 10:00 am to Sat, 22 Nov, 2025 at 12:00 pm at Academy of Music, 240 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Fall of Freedom: Billie Holiday's Philadelphia Walking Tour? - **A:** Fall of Freedom: Billie Holiday's Philadelphia Walking Tour is organized by All That Philly Jazz. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
