Woodson founded the celebration he called “Negro History Week” in 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the second week of February for the celebration because it fell between the birthdays of the famed orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. In 1976\, the celebration expanded to include the entire month of February. Today\, Black History Month is celebrated across the United States by people of all ethnic and social backgrounds. At Pacific\, it is observed during a monthlong celebration in February organized by Pacific’s Black History Month Planning Committee.

SUMMARY:Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir - Black History Month Celebration
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Black History Month\, the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir pays homage to traditional spirituals and black gospel music\, under the direction of Terrance Kelly. The choir will be joined by Henrietta Davis\, Jackie Tolbert\, and the McGuillicutty sisters and will be honoring bay area legends The Oakland Gospelettes. \nThe Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir delivers good news – the power and glory of 55 talented singers blending their voices together in rapturous harmony on gospel standards\, traditional spirituals\, and their own original praise songs. The East Bay Express has described the harmonies on their most recent album\, Hear My Prayer\, as “absolutely divine\,” and the live version\, with the vibrations of all those gorgeous voices filling the Freight\, is even more inspiring. \nThe OIGC grew out of a gospel music workshop at Jazz Camp West in 1986. Terrance Kelly led the workshop and has served as artistic director of the choir ever since. The son of esteemed jazz pianist Ed Kelly and gospel choir director Faye Kelly\, Terrence is an Emmy-winning director\, composer\, and arranger\, as well as a popular soloist with what allaboutjazz.com calls “an operatic range and a joyous emotional feel.” Under his leadership\, the choir has recorded with such artists as Linda Ronstadt\, Peter Gabriel\, MC Hammer\, Tramaine Hawkins\, and the Kronos Quartet\, performed onstage with a number of notable musicians including Stan Getz\, Carlos Santana\, and Joan Baez\, and appeared on three Grammy-winning albums. The choir’s outstanding band includes Ben Heveroh and Louis Burrell on keyboards\, David Belove on bass\, and Miles Lathan on drums. \nThe mission of the OIGC is “to inspire joy and unity among all people through black gospel and spiritual music traditions.” If you’re in the mood for a big helping of joy and inspiration\, don’t miss the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir at the Freight! \n$22 ADV / $24 DOOR \n
