Last year marked the 40th Anniversary of the Edwin Hawkin Singers world renown gospel song, Oh Happy Day, which was one of the first gospel songs to hit the radio top ten charts. This performance of the UC Berkeley Gospel Chorus celebrates how gospel music has transcended the boundaries of the church to not only shape the music of mainstream culture, but also to be influenced by it. Leading Bay Area gospel artists contributing to musical transition will be invited to their music with student performers of rhythm ‘n blues, jazz, rock and other popular musical genres.
$15 general admission, $10 UCB faculty/staff; non-UCB students; seniors; groups 10+, $5 UCB students
Tickets in advance through Zellerbach hall ticket office, or one hour prior to performance at Hertz. Buy tickets online, or by calling 510-642-9988.

It’s a simple truth: People are different. Throughout history, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression. This exhibit provides an opportunity to understand race from a biological, cultural, and historical perspective through engaging, hands-on science experiences; real artifacts; and videos that present people’s unique stories.
