This Black History Month, join us for a powerful night of gospel music at the museum created by Dr. Adam "Ology" Rogers-radio station owner, music producer, and community organizer. Hosted by KPOO radio personality DJ Sherita (Re Re) Evans, this performance uplifts the deep ties between gospel music and African American history.
Featuring renowned gospel artists, the performance musically reflects various key dynamics in African American history, from antebellum hymns of resistance to Civil Rights anthems and modern gospel; it's a celebration of how gospel music has inspired hope, sparked change, and connected generations.
The event kicks off at 2 pm, and Town Fare by Michele McQueen on OMCA's Mid Level (open from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.) is prepared to offer a rounded Sunday experience. McQueen's menu, inspired by her Southern roots and Oakland upbringing, offers the perfect complement to this celebratory day.
Sliding Scale: $1-$30.
