Description

The Black Legacy Project is a musical celebration of Black history to advance racial solidarity, equity, and belonging. The Black LP is a national project produced by Music in Common in partnership with community stakeholders at the local level. As it travels the country, the Black LP brings together Black and White artists and artists of ALL backgrounds to record present day interpretations of songs central to the Black American experience and compose originals relevant to the pressing calls for change of our time. Community roundtable discussions help inform how these songs are interpreted and written. The Black Legacy Project launched in September 2021 in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts and will travel to Atlanta, Los Angeles, the Mississippi Delta, Denver, the Ozarks, and Boise in 2022 - 2023. Join us for the culminating event of the Black LP Ozarks launch as local musicians take the stage to perform songs recorded during the week long launch. A screening of the Project docuseries will kick off the event. This event is free & open to all thanks, in part, by support from the Walmart Foundation, Cox Communication, and 214 by CACHE
