Psychedelic Soul: Black Cultural Awakening during the Summer of Love

Encounter 2: Aspirations of 1967

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.

This second encounter in the Psychedelic Soul series examines the explosion of activity – cultural, social, and political – that took place in this historical moment in 1967. The many social strands of society that were being transformed and confronted could be thought of as a singular force of its own, a wave of consciousness and a sense that people collectively were creating something entirely new. The series “Psychedelic Soul” is presented by the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) and the California Historical Society.

Panel includes:

• Avotcja Jiltonilro (poet, radio producer, playwright, musician and DJ)
• and more speakers to come!
• Moderated by Rickey Vincent, Author of Party Music and lecturer at UC Berkeley and California College of the Arts.
