Dark Before Daybreak

Dark Before Daybreak is the unlikely story of

Earnestine Rodgers Robinson, a black woman

born in the Deep South at the end of the Great

Depression, who triumphs without formal music

training as a composer at the world-famous

Carnegie Hall. Her story has been the center-

piece of an award-winning short documentary

film, Sounds of a Miracle, that has screened at

prestigious film festivals including LA Shorts

Fest, Palm Beach International Festival and

Rhode Island International Film Festival.

Dark Before Daybreak is more than a personal

narrative. It is a pathway to finding purpose

and success through life’s challenges.
