SUMMARY:WTTW’s Chicago Stories: The Birth of Gospel - Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for the Church and the Black Experience\, Junius B. Dotson Institute for Music and Worship in the Black Church & Beyond\, and WTTW (Chicago’s PBS affiliate) to view “The Birth of Gospel” documentary. \n  \nFor generations\, Black music has been one of the foundational sources for liberation\, survival\, salvation\, and entertainment. Gospel music has been one of the most integral and sacred forms of that music. It birthed a generation of storytellers\, influential musicians\, and agents of social change\, such as Mahalia Jackson\, Shirley Caesar\, Kirk Franklin\, and many others. The origins of gospel music lie in the transatlantic slave trade\, as African musical traditions blended with new forms born out of the horrors of slavery. The rich lineage of gospel music began in earnest as a young man named Thomas Dorsey came to Chicago during the Great Migration. His own spiritual rebirth at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Chicago created a form of music that married blues influences with religious themes. Dorsey’s legacy ushered in a generation of Black artists who broke new ground by turning their voices of joy and pain into something powerful. \n  \nThis event is free but an RSVP is required.
