Joan Baez at Spring Hill College: A Study of Intersecting Histories
From site: Learning and Teaching Center
On May 7, 1963 Joan Baez gave a concert at Spring Hill College in Mobile Alabama. This little-known performance takes on extraordinary significance when viewed from the intersection of multiple histories: social, musical, institutional, and personal. This presentation will reveal the larger meaning of this event using eyewitness accounts, photographs, and a precious unreleased live recording, which includes Baez’ comments on the racial climate. Presenter: Steve Kelly, Dye Family Professor of Music. Lunch provided for 50. Angelina Weld Grimke Brown Bag Conversation, co-sponsored with African/African-American Studies Program.
