Lyceum Series: Songs and Stories of the Underground Railroad
Friday, March 9th 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Park Rangers Bruce Barnes and Matt Hampsey from New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park have been telling the stories of the Underground Railroad, the Ohio River and the Lower Mississippi Delta for more than a decade. For them, every song has a tale to tell; from historical monologues and poetry set to music, to work songs, ring shouts, blues, and coded spirituals.
The word “lyceum” has roots in ancient Greek, and became the name of the school where Aristotle taught. At CVNP, we use it to describe our lecture series featuring national speakers who stimulate the heart and mind with compelling stories of our natural and cultural world.
