Regina Bradley (Chronicling Stankonia: The Rise of Hip-Hop South), Adam Gussow (Whose Blues? Facing Up to Race and the Future of Music), and Claudrena Harold (When Sunday Comes: Gospel Music in the Soul and Hip-Hop Eras) discuss the ways that music, history, and race intersect in the creation of American identity, with a focus on blues, southern hip-hop, and late-century gospel music.

From 8:00-8:30 PM ET, join us after the discussion for a set of live music from The Blues Doctors.

To join, register on Eventbrite.

A recording of the live event will be available at https://vabook.org/by-type/recaps/
