Black music has often served as a barometer of the times and lives of black people. This program, utilizing recorded music, explores various aspects and periods of black history by examining the music of each era. It ranges from the work-songs and spirituals of slavery through the rap of modern urban times.  Delaware’s own Zion AME Choir will provide musical entertainment for the program. Presented by William T. McDaniel, Jr., PhD. Professor Emeritus, The Ohio State University, Ohio Humanities Speaker and the Zion AME Choir.

THIS PROGRAM IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY OHIO HUMANITIES, A STATE AFFILIATE OF THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES.
