In honor of Black History Month, Carolina Performing Arts is hosting several pre-performance conversations with special guests in addition to the wide array of musical and dance talent that will feature the contributions of African-Americans in the arts.

Dr. Jordan the Director of the Stone Center for Black Culture and History, Interim Director of the Institute for African-American Research and teaches in the African/African-American studies department at UNC. He will be in Gerrard Hall at 6:30 PM on Thursday, Feb. 9. His curatorial work includes more than 27 visual art and historical exhibitions, as well as production credits for five independent films. This will be in conjunction with the Four Electric Ghosts: An Opera-Masquerade performance by Mendi and Keith Obadike, which will take place in Memorial Hall at 7:30 p.m. This opera was inspired by Nigerian writer Amos Tutuola’s novel My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and the influential video game Pac Man. This story creates a composite world at the intersection of game culture, folk tales and pop songs and will be told through masquerade, dance, video interviews and original music.

We Remember Don Cornelius

Jodi Berry — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:55:02 +0000

The entertainment industry has lost a true legend. Few television series were as innovative and influential as Soul Train. Originally a journalist inspired by the civil rights movement, Cornelius recognized that in the late 1960s there was no television venue in the United States for soul music, and introduced many African-American musicians to a larger audience as a result of their appearances on Soul Train.

Don Cornelius on the origins of R & B music.

It was a stoned gas watching Soul Train Saturday afternoons. Learning new dances and the latest fashions.

And you can’t forget the infamous scramble board.
