Footnote to Freedom: A Musical Legacy

Sunday, November 9 • 7:00 PM
The Historic Market Hall 

Beau and Lance Dixon bring history to life in Footnote to Freedom, a bold new musical workshop that traces the remarkable story of their grandfather. He served in the Number 2 Battalion, Canada’s only segregated Black unit during World War One, and this intimate, powerful performance explores courage, resilience, and the untold stories of those who fought on the frontlines while confronting inequality at home.

Written and performed by the Dixon brothers, the show blends music, narrative, and raw emotion, offering audiences a glimpse into a family history that mirrors a broader national legacy. Recommended for ages 10 and up, it’s both educational and deeply moving—a story that insists on being remembered.
