Alice and John Coltrane have made important contributions to a multicultural American and global humanism. A diverse group of musicians and scholars will assess and discuss those contributions in the form of a roundtable of speakers, including the distinguished musician/scholars Yusef Lateef and Billy Taylor, joined by Professor Tammy Kernodle of Miami University of Ohio and Northeastern Professors Emmett Price and Leonard Brown. A conversation with the audience will follow, allowing us to address not only the Coltrane legacy, but also the relationship between music and Black America’s struggles for freedom and equality.
