Jazz and the Civil Rights Movement is a combined lecture and music performance featuring Flutist/Lecturer GALEN ABDUR-RAZZAQ <https://flutejuice.net/discography%2Fappearances>. It will begin with a flute prelude performed by Galen followed by a 60-minute presentation chronicling the history of music from the turn of the century to present day, highlighting various artists, their music, their influence on the evolution of jazz, and their struggles. Additionally, it will illustrate how jazz became an advocate for the Civil Rights Movement, with proceeds from jazz concerts used to finance major events such as the Freedom Rides and the March on Washington in 1963. This lecture is infused with music demonstrations and students will be given an opportunity to test their knowledge via trivia. Registration requested. |
