Memorial Day has its roots in Decoration Day, a time to honor those who gave “the last full measure of their devotion” during the War Between the States. We acknowledge the heroism and sacrifice of ordinary Americans placed in extraordinary circumstances, with music from “Gettysburg” (Randy Edelman), “Gone with the Wind” (Max Steiner), Ken Burns’ “The Civil War” (Jay Ungar), and “Glory” (James Horner). A house divided against itself cannot stand. Preserve the union of history and entertainment, this Friday at 6 pm.
