Program creation and Music Direction by Jonathan Miller
A soulful journey through three centuries of African-American spirituals
If spirituals moved Frederick Douglass to run to freedom, imagine how they might inspire you. Nationally-acclaimed storytellers Momma Kemba, Mama Edie, and Oba William King join us for an intensely persomal and inspiring experience. Your entire being will resonate with the dignity and power of spirituals.
