Spiritual Songs: A History of the Negro Spiritual
Come to the Jan Platt Library on Wednesday, February 3rd at 7pm to hear spiritual songs and to learn the history of the Negro Spiritual.

This program is a musical adventure that uses powerful storytelling, historical facts and vocal performance to trace the creation and development of the Negro Spiritual as a distinct American Art Form. Spanning the 1600s to the present, Dr. Naima Johnston-Bush uses her dynamic voice to present a historical musical lecture that explores the impact of song to build faith, sustain hope and launch movements that spurred a nation to challenge oppression and overcome adversity. This program is part of the library’s Black History Month celebration.
