Details
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 - a nonprofit that strengthens, empowers, and connects communities through the universal language - 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 is traveling to Atlanta, Los Angeles, the Mississippi Delta, Denver, the Arkansas Ozarks, and Boise.
Join us for the culminating event of the Black LP Atlanta launch, which includes a screening of the Black Legacy Project documentary short and an array of local musicians performing the Black LP songs written, reimagined, and recorded in the week leading up to this event
