Troy University’s Rosa Parks Museum is partnering with Kwanza Jones, The Apollo Theater and the Jose Feliciano Foundation, and the Boost Bus to bring “Culture in Motion” Community Boost Block Party, a national roadshow uniting communities through arts and empowerment, to Montgomery on Sept. 5.
The free event will take place at the Rosa Parks Museum, 252 Montgomery St., from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The section of Montgomery Street will be blocked to traffic for this event, which will also include the 1950s era Montgomery City Bus and a Greyhound bus from the Freedom Rides Museum. Registration to attend the event is available online.
“We are excited to partner with Kwanza Jones and The Apollo Theater to bring this unique cultural experience to Montgomery,” said Donna Beisel, Director of Operations for the Rosa Parks Musuem. “Boost Bus™ provides a fun and entertaining experience that seeks to celebrate, unite and empower communities, and we invite all from Montgomery and the surrounding communities to take advantage of this family friendly event.”

Culture In Motion™ is a national arts and empowerment Roadshow founded and led by cultural architect Kwanza Jones. Powered by SUPERCHARGED® by Kwanza Jones and realized in partnership with The Apollo, the platform brings empowerment experiences and nearly 100 years of cultural legacy directly into communities nationwide.
Through live performances, storytelling, creative engagement, and the SUPERCHARGED® Boost Bus™, the Roadshow transforms public spaces into hubs of joy, connection, and cultural momentum, meeting people where they are, amplifying voices, and expanding cultural access.
Culture in Motion serves as the inaugural activation of the Producing Partner Program created by the Kwanza Jones & José E. Feliciano (Jones•Feliciano) Initiative, which she co-founded. Jones•Feliciano Initiative’s Producing Partner Program is designed to support long-term cultural platforms through sustained partnership rather than one-time funding. The Apollo is the program’s first Producing Partner and beneficiary.
SUPERCHARGED® by Kwanza Jones serves as Lead Producer of the Roadshow.
“The Apollo has always been more than a stage – it’s a space where people user their voice, own their power and take action,” said Kwanza Jones, Executive Producer, Apollo Board member, Apollo alum and co-founder of the Jones-Feliciano Initiative. “My Apollo story started on the Amateur Night Stage, where I was encouraged to amplify my voice and my purpose. That’s the power of what The Apollo does – it’s a place for all people. I’m excited that this Roadshow will help even more people create their own Apollo story-one that starts right where they are.”
