Delaware County Historical Society to present Understanding Black History through Black Music (Part 3):
Dr. Ted McDaniel will present a continuation of last year’s program on the history of African American music. Black music has often served as a barometer of the times and lives of black people. This program, utilizing recorded music, explores various aspects and periods of black history by examining the music of each era. Dr. McDaniel will focus this presentation on Black music of the 1900’s, including blues, jazz, R&B, and protest songs.
This program will be held on Tuesday, April 8th at 7pm, at the Barn at Stratford, 2690 Stratford Road, Delaware.
Presented by Ohio Humanities speaker, Dr. William “Ted” McDaniel, retired Professor of African American Music at The Ohio State University. He is a specialist in jazz history, jazz performance, and African American music. He has held faculty appointments in the School of Music and the Department of African American and African Studies, where he served as Department Chair for eight years. His scholarly and creative writings were mostly on aspects of jazz and black music, and he was invited to lecture extensively throughout the United States and to present in Africa, Europe, and China.
