About the event
Elder David Morgan's discussion will include a brief visit into the hymnody and historical context of "We Shall Overcome", as an exploration of the awareness of spirituals and their place in social protest, both overt and covert. We will look at how crossover artists like Sam Cooke, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Curtis Mayfield, Al Greena and The Staple Singers bring the message to a secular audience.
Bring friends and enjoy coffee and snacks. Childcare is provided on the youth floor for children of all ages starting at 9:00 AM.
