'Sounds Like a Revolution: Freedom Songs of 1960s' Feb. 20

The Cultural Centers will host a presentation and conversation "Sounds Like a Revolution and the Freedom Songs of the 1960s" on Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 7:00 p.m. The event at Brennan Hall, Rose Room 509 will feature Maureen Mahon, Associate Professor of Music at New York University discussing the book she authored, "Black Diamond Queens".

The event will highlight African American women who have played a pivotal role in rock and roll—from laying its foundations and singing chart-topping hits, to influencing some of the genre's most iconic acts. Join the Cultural Centers as they discuss the story of music in relation to the Civil Rights Movement with a focus on women's contributions to the arts.
