The Birth of Jesus: The Black Gospel Christmas Story

Date/Time

Location

Wesley United Methodist Church (98 Maple St, Hadley, MA 01035, Hadley MA)

***Images of the Amherst Area Gospel Choir singing at an event as a fundraiser for the Survival Center. There are many social justice equivalents in the Story of the Birth of Jesus, and these are underlined in the song selections. The songs and 1 minute introductions tell the story of the birth of Jesus in more traditional Black musical genres including "Would You Harbor Me?" by Sweet Honey and the Rock. We do this in reference to the life of Jesus as a child and his family's need to emigrate to save their lives as many have done in the modern era.***
