Événement

Deeper than the Skin concert

Reggie Harris and Greg Greenway present a musical dialogue on race in the U.S. Born three days apart, Reggie and Greg's ancestry flows through the same portal of history Richmond, VA. They are on a pilgrimage together that began three decades ago. The racial divisions that are the reality of America started them in two different worlds, but the amazing bonds of music, mutual respect, sheer admiration, and shared vision have brought them together as friends and colleagues.

Their stories together form the quintessential American story. The music that flowed form these experiences is powered by unadorned truth, raw and riveting, beautiful and uplifting. Echoing Gandhi, they believe that in telling our truths, we are able to ride up from the past and build bridges to each other and the future. The presentation will be interactive and there will be time for discussion at the end.

The Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware (UUSD) and the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) are proud to sponsor this event. It will be held at UUSD, 30486 Lewes Georgetown Highway (Route 9), Lewes, DE 19958 on Friday April 12 starting at 7 p.m. Child care will be available.

Reggie Harris is a Woodrow Wilson Scholar and the Music Education Director of the Living Legacy Project of the Unitarian Universalist Association. He co-leads tours through the historic sites of the Civil Rights movement in the South. Solo, and in the duo Kim and Reggie Harris, he has led hundreds in programs on Race and Social Justice. Greg Greenway has been heard on NPR's All Things Considered, Mountain Stage, and Car Talk. He has played Carnegie Hall and for two years had the honor of having his song "Rosa Parks" played when rosaparks.com opened. For eight years, he was one third of the successful folk trio Brother Sun. Together and individually, Reggie and Greg have brought the issue of race before audiences around the world.
