Mary D. Williams – Word and Song from the Black South

Some months ago, we wrote about the amazing work Mary D. Williams is doing to preserve African American gospel music traditions. She is ensuring that students don’t grow up without knowing the musical roots that are their rich heritage.

Out of the deepest respect for Williams’ contributions, TBGB is happy to announce that her program, “Word and Song from the Black South,” will be held on Friday, October 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Hayti Heritage Center in Durham, NC.
