SUMMARY:Gather on the Green: Black Music Through Time
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Black Music Month this June at Concord Historic Site! On June 18\, join us to celebrate Black Music Month on the green with headlining band Black History. \n\n\n\nFrom work songs to spirituals\, from blues to hip-hop\, the African American musical tradition has long been rooted in resistance\, serving as both soundtrack and catalyst for movements demanding freedom and justice. \n\n\n\nAs the United States approaches its semiquincentennial\, we reflect not only on 250 years of the nation’s history\, but on more than 400 years of Black life\, creativity\, and triumph on these shores.  \n\n\n\nThe June edition of Gather on the Green features a powerful program that uplifts the voices\, rhythms\, and stories that have shaped generations of Black life and cultural expression. \n\n\n\nThe Black History band evokes the West African storytelling tradition in a unique musical narrative style coined “griot soul.” \n\n\n\nJoin us as we celebrate this enduring lyrical legacy and move together toward a more just and liberatory future.    \n\n\n\nGather on the Green is a free summer concert series at Concord Historic Site that takes place the third Thursday of each month.
