It's our 10th Anniversary and we invite you to help us celebrate! We are gathering on Zoom on January 16, 2021 at 1:00 p.m. Dr. Kathy Bullock will present the program "Singing in the Spirit: The African American Sacred Music Tradition". Our afternoon will also include the installation of officers for 2021-2022 and a tribute to our Charter Members.
Spirituals and gospel music are much more than pleasing songs to listen to—they are powerful representations of the triumphant spirit and faith that have defined African-American music and people. Bullock takes the audience on a musical journey from West Africa, through the middle passage, to the North American shores where the African-American culture was forged. Through songs, stories, and performance, this program lets the audience experience the beauty, joy, and power of this music and culture.

"I too am of the hills, my folks have corn rowed tobacco, laid track, strip mined, worshipped and whiskied from Harlan to Maysville, old Dunbar to Central...We put the heat in the hot brown and gave it color. Indeed some
of the bluegrass is black."
