Program Description

Event Details

Join Keith Crocker for a delightful trip down memory lane as he discusses the history of Berry Gordy’s Motown and its fantastic sounds. Founded in Detroit, Michigan in January 1959, Motown became one of the most successful Black-owned businesses, and one of the most influential independent record companies in American history. From Smokey Robinson and the Miracles to Marvin Gaye, from The Supremes to Martha and the Vandellas, you will be toe tapping to the vintage footage we have accrued for this delightful lecture.
