How do we talk about race in America? How do the protest songs of our times reflect the evolution of this conversation?

Olivia Harris, Brinae Ali, Solomon Hoffman and friends perform the music of Nina Simone, Sam Cooke and Stevie Wonder alongside songs by contemporary black songwriters.

A panel of musicians, educators and activists will engage with the audience to explore the historical background of these songs and their implications for today and the future. Panelists include moderator Shaniqua Levin, musician and educator Napoleon Revels-Bay and Elaine Gross of Erase Racism.

Co-presented with Erase Racism.

No tickets or resvervations required.

Free admission to all Conversations from Main Street programs is made possible by a grant from the Angela & Scott Jaggar Foundation
