DESCRIPTION:Saturday, Aug 15, 4-5:30pm Pacific time\n\nJoin us as we sing for justice 
 along with incredible guest vocalists from all around the Bay Area. We're 
 coming together to lift our voices because we believe in the power of song 
 to bring about change and healing to our communities. You'll be inspired as 
 we sing our way through some of the greatest African American Spirituals 
 that have served as a cornerstone in racial justice movements led 
 courageously by the African American community.\n\nEnjoy musical 
 performances from these stellar vocalists: Ja Ronn & Flow (Spiritualing's 
 amazing Choir-in-Residence!), Phillip N. Harris, Wilford Kelly & Kevin 
 Gino.\n\nExtraordinary special guest: Pastor Mike McBride, Director of 
 Faith in Action and LIVE FREE - Masks For The People campaign. Masks For 
 The People is a humanitarian campaign, launched by Pastor Mike McBride and 
 comedian W. Kamau Bell, in response to the disproportionate impact COVID-19 
 is having on underserved, minority communities, to ensure people have free 
 access to lifesaving personal protective equipment (PPE) and preventive 
 care. \n\nWe encourage you to learn more about the beautiful tradition of 
 African American Spirituals starting with a powerful quote from W.E.B. 
 Dubois: \n\n'And so by fateful chance the Negro folk-song -- the rhythmic 
 cry of the slave -- stands to-day not simply as the sole American music, 
 but as the most beautiful expression of human experience born this side the 
 seas....it still remains as the singular spiritual heritage of the nation 
 and the greatest gift of the Negro people. They are the music of an unhappy 
 people, of the children of disappointment; they tell of death and suffering 
 and unvoiced longing toward a truer world, of misty wanderings and hidden 
 ways. ' - W.E.B. Dubois from "Souls of Black Folk" (1903) Chapter 14 Of The 
 Sorrow Songs\n\nJoin the Spiritualing movement! \n\nSpiritualing is a 
 project of fiscal sponsor Independent Arts and Media based in San 
 Francisco, CA.\n\n$0 to $100.\n
