Miles College Choir Presents A Tribute to Living Legends

The Miles College Golden Voices will present its annual Black History Month concert, Monday, February 28, 2018, at 11:00a.m. in Brown Hall Auditorium on the campus of Miles College.

The concert will be comprised of songs and spirituals written by African American Composers. During the program there will be a tribute to two Civil Rights icons, Frederick D. Reese and Dr. Jonathan McPherson.

Frederick D. Reese is a civil rights activist who advocated African American voters' rights in Selma, Alabama, and marched with Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Jonathan McPherson organized students at Miles College to conduct the 1962 boycott of segregated stores in downtown Birmingham. He also marched with Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963.

There are currently 58 Golden Voices under the direction of Ms. Valerie Harris. She was born in Selma, Alabama and is the daughter of civil rights activist Frederick D. Reese.

The Miles College Golden Voices are culminating the Black History Month activities on a quintessential "high note". Admission is free and all are welcome to attend.
