DMA Voice Lecture Recital: How Spirituals Inspired Both Resistance to Nazis and Civil Rights Boycotts

How did spirituals impact Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his decision to join the underground resistance against the Nazis in Germany during World War II? What surprising connection is there between Bonhoeffer and the creation of The Highlander Folk School? How did spirituals inspire civil rights boycotts? In this lecture recital, the inspirational influence of spirituals will be narrated alongside their performance. The recital features Chandi Plummer (soprano) in collaboration with Jazmin Salaberrios (soprano) and Nan McSwain (piano).
