Arsht Impact Gospel Fest Miami: GOSPEL - The Gospel Train Screening

From acclaimed scholar Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Gospel explores Black spirituality in sermon and song. From the blues to hip-hop, African Americans have been the driving force of sonic innovation for over a century. While musical styles come and go, there is one sound that has been a constant source of strength, courage and wisdom from the pulpit to the choir lofts on any given Sunday: gospel. This screening of The Gospel Train by PBS will be followed by a conversation with Grammy Award winner and pioneering figure in gospel music, Dr. Bobby Jones.
