The African and African American Studies Program presents the traveling photo exhibition Rock, Rhythm and Soul: the Roots of African American Music, which will be on display on the first floor of the Mardigian Library from November 6 through November 28. The exhibit covers Soul, the Civil Rights Movement, Black Radio, Rhythm and Blues, Hip-Hop, and Gospel Music and includes stunning images, text highlighting central issues and personalities, and a concise timeline of key historic events.
An opening reception will be held at the Library (in the exhibit area on the first floor) on Thursday, November 6 beginning at 6:00 p.m. Following the exhibit, there will be a lecture presentation, New Orleans, the Cradle, by Professor Kenn Cox, internationally acclaimed jazz pianist, composer, educator, and this year’s KCP (King/Chavez/Parks) visiting professor. It will be held at 7:00 p.m. in 1030CB. This lecture is part of a series funded by the State of Michigan King/Chavez/Parks Visiting Professor Initiative administered by the Office of the Provost.
The exhibit was produced by the Archives of African American Music with the financial support of Indiana University’s Moveable Feast of the Arts, a Lilly Foundation funded program.
