Throughout her lifetime, Dr. Nina Simone often declared “Music is a Weapon.” She used her brilliance at storytelling and her musical genius to make a definite impact on the communities that she was a part of. She always held to one clear fact about her life as an artist:

"There's no other purpose, so far as I'm concerned, for us except to reflect the times, the situations around us and the things we're able to say through our art, the things that millions of people can't say. I think that's the function… (of an artist), so far as I'm concerned, is to reflect the times, whatever that might be."

It is this spirit that the Nina Simone Estate through the Nina Simone Experience will support the “I Love Atlanta Campaign.”
