GREEN COVE SPRINGS – Dr. Barbara McNeeley Bouie, the music consultant to the AME Church, collaborating musician Cedric Williams and Rev. Rose Wilson will emphasize the work of Dr. Thomas Dorsey Saturday, Feb. 1, at 4 p.m. in the Evolution of Black Sacred Music at the Mt. Zion AME Church, 549 Palmetto Ave.
The program will be presented by Friends of the Augusta Savage, Inc., covering African American musical forms from slavery to post-emancipation to the advent of gospel music. The program will investigate the various formats that evolved from musical history to the present and seek to tell the story, demonstrating the importance of sacred Black music to Black survival and ability to thrive in the unfriendly environment of the United States.
Come, tap your feet, clap your hands and sing along to celebrate Black heritage. The program is free.
