LECTURE ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 30

Liberal Education Professor Stephanie Shonekan will give her lecture "Black Music: Revolution and Aesthetics" on Wednesday.

Here's what Professor Shonekan has to say about her lecture:

"This presentation will give an overview of how Black music has evolved in the U.S. We will examine how Black music is tightly linked to Black history and how each genre has emerged as response to various historical moments for the Black community. This presentation will take us on an expedition from the spirituals to hip-hop."

We discussed Tupac's "Changes" in class on Tuesday. Keep that conversation in mind while Professor Shonekan speaks. Start thinking of questions you have for her, and jot down more during her lecture so you won't forget to ask.
