Encounter 1: Awakenings
Psychedelic Soul will engage with the community over three encounters. These panel discussions examine the scope and breadth of the influence of the Summer of Love on the African American community.
Explore the emerging elements of the Black psychedelic impulse and how the arts began to play an effective role in uprooting presumptions of the institutions of the day. “Awakenings” is the first of three panel discussions in the series “Psychedelic Soul,” presented by the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) and the California Historical Society.
Panel includes:
- Dr. Lewis Watts (UC Santa Cruz)
- R.G.Davis, PhD (Founder and Director of the SF Mime Troupe 1964)
- Rosa Lee Brooks (singer and music producer)
- Moderated by Rickey Vincent, author of Party Music and lecturer at UC Berkeley and California College of the Arts.
