Black Radio Solidarity Supports HIDDEN FIGURES with DRIVING SOULS TO THE THEATER National Campaign

LOS ANGELES - Dec. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Black Radio Solidarity announces Driving Souls To The Theater on Christmas Day, for the limited release and on January 6, 2017, for the full national release of the inspirational film HIDDEN FIGURES. Listeners of Black Radio, all across the country, are encouraged to support youth by taking young boys and girls to see and experience the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson - brilliant African-American women and members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. who worked at NASA and served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit. This stunning achievement restored the nation's confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world.

One of the film's stars, Janelle Monae had this to say about Astronaut John Glenn, who recently passed away, "John Glenn was always on the right side of history. He extended his hand out, and he trusted women, and women of color, with his life,"  The visionary trio of Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Vaughan (Octavia Spenser) and Jackson (Janelle Monae) crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.

Black Radio Solidarity visionary Sheryl Underwood, co-host of THE TALK on CBS television and host of Sheryl Underwood Radio explains the reason behind the push, "This movie has a message that needs to be distributed far and wide; we have the platform to do that. As the 3rd largest syndicated radio show on the airwaves, Sheryl Underwood Radio is committed to "Doing Good In The Neighborhood" by supporting positive messages like the ones showcased in HIDDEN FIGURES."" She adds, "As 23rd International President of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., I also want to take this opportunity to support the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc, as they celebrate their connection to this historic moment in history."

The film has a limited release on Christmas Day in 15 markets*. The full national release is January 6, 2017. The goal is to fill the theaters with fathers and daughters; sorority and fraternity auxiliary members; families, friends and young boys and girls. Mark your calendar for Christmas Day and January 6 and join Black Radio Solidarity-Driving Souls To The Theater.
