Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin
Over the past 30 years, 2019 Alpert Award Winner, Meshell Ndegeocello, has led an extraordinary musical career as a genre-smashing conceptualist who has enjoyed meaningful collaborations with everyone from Madonna and Alanis Morisette to Herbie Hancock, Buika, and Oliver Lake. On Friday, October 30, Ms. Ndegeocello will present a discussion on her most recent work, Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin.
Inspired by James Baldwin's truth-telling treatise on justice in the United States, The Fire Next Time, and our endlessly changing world, Chapter & Verse: The Gospel of James Baldwin is a 21st century ritual tool kit for justice. A call for revolution. A gift during turbulent times.
This talk is open to the institute. And all are encouraged to attend!
Meshell Ndgeocello is the 2019 Herb Alpert Award in the Arts recipient in Music.
