Dr. M.T. Pope House Presents: Black Joy in the Springtime
Music played a central role in American family life during the 19th and early 20th centuries, long before the advent of television and cellphones. African American households embraced music as a powerful means of self-expression. Through gospel, jazz, blues, and classical music, African Americans found a way to share their stories, joys, and sorrows. 'Black Joy in the Springtime' beautifully highlights this rich musical heritage at one of Raleigh's historic African American homes. Enjoy a delightful musical performance by Shenette Swann. Details Location: Pope House Museum Date: Saturday, May 9 Time: 2 - 3 p.m. Ages: All Cost: Free
