California African American Museum

“Conversation and song come together to echo the narratives presented in the exhibit How Sweet the Sound: Gospel Music in Los Angeles. Panelists include Dr. Margaret Douroux legendary composer and CEO of the Heritage Music Foundation, Rev. Calvin Rhone, recording artist and Los Angeles chapter representative of the Gospel Music Workshop of America, Annette May, gospel singer and longtime friend of the late Rev. James Cleveland, and Donald Webber, gospel musician. The panel provides a historical narration of gospel music in Los Angeles combined with firsthand stories while the audience is invited to sing along, becoming an impromptu choir carrying the history from voice to heart."
