Is God Funky Or What?
The Dynamics of Power, Music and Black Healing

Thursday, April 29, 2021 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM

At a time when the disproportionate effects of COVID-19, policing, and disenfranchisement of communities of color have been laid bare, we will examine the dynamic interplay of race, protest, music, healing, religion, and post-colonial theory.
