harold1On Thursday, September 28 at 7:00 p.m. in the Grupp Fireside Lounge, historian Claudrena Harold of the University of Virginia will give a free public talk entitled “From Motown to Hip Hop: The Evolution of African American Music.” The talk considers how musical expression ‒ by James Brown, Sam Cooke, the Supremes, Arentha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Nina Simone, Michael Jackson and Public Enemy, among others ‒ and consumption have provided black women and men with a vehicle for entertainment, community building, political organizing and economic uplift. Professor Harold comes to Canisius under the auspices of the distinguished lectureship program of the Organization of American Historians. Light refreshments will follow the lecture.
