The event is part of the College’s Black History Month activities and is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Student Programs and Services. Isaiah McGee will lead Claflin’s 50-voice mixed chorus through African American History with a program of spirituals and gospel songs. Brenten Weeks, alumnus, and director of the College’s Gospel Choir will join the Claflin Choir in a series of selections.
This year’s program is the first in a series of fundraisers for student scholarships. “We are thankful for Dr. McGee’s support of our programs and the opportunity to collaborate on future projects together. We feel very fortunate to have Dr. McGee and his students back at the College again to help us celebrate Black History Month.” says Teresa Smith, Ph.D., director for the Office of Multicultural Student Programs and Services.
