African American Museum of Philadelphia In celebration of Gospel Music History Month, and in conjunction with the 6th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day, the African American Museum in Philadelphia and Reverend Joe Williams of Mount Airy United Fellowship invite you to meet living legends of gospel and soul, and hear some of the music that strengthened and encouraged African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.
Special Guests include Garnett Mims, Bunny Sigler, Goldwire McClendon, Howard Carroll, Rosie Wallace, Ali Hackett, Romance Watson, and Frank Bey.
Music compilation provided courtesy of TBGB’s Bob Marovich from his “Gospel Memories” radio broadcast on 88.7 WLUW Chicago.
The multimedia presentation and roundtable discussion with artists and media personalities are a perfect complement to the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition, 381 Days: The Montgomery Bus Boycott Story.
