About this Event

Prof. Birgitta Johnson (Univ. of South Carolina) has appeared in media outlets including Rolling Stone Magazine, NPR, Vox, and Public Radio International. This talk will explore under-recognized contributions of African American artists to the growth of praise and worship music, which many scholars, church musicians, and artists agree is one of the most powerful developments in black gospel music and contemporary Christian music (CCM) in the last 40 years.

This talk is offered in conjunction with the preceding Friday Music Series concert by Brandon Camphor & OneWay at 12:30 p.m. in the same venue.
