Join us for a live virtual session from Johns Island native, Christal Brown Heyward, as she explores and explains the rich sounds of spirituals sung on the sea islands. The distinct sounds of hand-clapping, foot stomping, and call-response are unique to the sea islands. Join singer, musician, and native-islander, Christal Brown Heyward, for this uplifting time of music and Gullah Geechie music education.

This lecture is part of the CIC’s 8-part series titled, African American Religious Diversity and Dialogue. Only one registration is needed for the 8-part series.

The James Sawers Jr. Interfaith Speaker Series is free and open to the public.
