MLK Celebration: Valerie Stephens Presents ‘Nina Simone and Hip-Hop’

Nina Simone is one of the most sampled musicians in hip-hop music. In addition to her remarkable talent, she remained apologetically true to her authenticity. “Mississippi Goddam” speaks to #BlackLivesMatter. “Four Women” speaks to #MeToo. “Brown Baby” speaks to I Want to Live Poetry. This concert is the first of its kind and is in the true sense of Sankofa: “reaching back and moving forward.”

Featuring Valerie Stephens, with Yuki Kanasaka, Daniel Day, JL Claybourne, Angelena Hightower, and Art Collins. Register on Eventbrite.
