What does sacred sound like… and how do we learn to hear it in the voices of Black disinherited creatives? This lecture will explore the brilliant resilience and demonstrative hope of Black folk through the lens of two exceptional spiritual beings: Nina Simone and John Coltrane. Rarely touted as theologians and even rarer, as Christians, these two serve as exemplars of far too many Black creatives endowed with spiritual wisdom yet treated as disinherited.
