SFPoC x BCC invites you to their second annual Diversity of the African Diaspora. On Sunday February 19th at 2pm, we will take a walk down Black Music memory lane and showcase a varied genre of African rooted music such as R&B, Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop, The Blues and more - because we are a musical mosaic in South Florida! Guests are welcome to complimentary passed hors d’oeuvres, a liquor tasting, live soul and Jazz performances, poetry readings, and more. Music is, and has always been, a form of Black Resistance, Joy, and Love! Throughout our history, music was used as a way for Black people to be resilient and resist the oppression they were facing. From early spirituals born out of the unconscionable hardships of slavery, to the creation of folk and gospel, to the evolution of rhythm and blues and jazz, to the ascendance of rock & roll, rap, and hip-hop — Black music has shaped our society, entertained and inspired us, and helped write and tell the story of our Nation. We invite you to join us and reflect on Black music and poetry as an important form of resistance and joy that speaks across cultural boundaries, helps bridge divides, and empowers communities.
