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 project also includes a docuseries. The Black Legacy Project launched in September 2021 in the Berkshires and is traveling to Atlanta, Los Angeles, the Mississippi Delta, Denver, the Ozarks, and Boise in 2022 - 2023. In commemoration of the one-year anniversary of the Black Legacy Project launch, join us for a film screening of the Berkshires episode of the docuseries followed by a Black LP concert and talk back with Project directors and musicians. This event is free & open to all thanks, in part, by support from Berkshire Community College. Per college policy, masks are required for this event.
