Sunday, Jan. 19, 7: - 8:30, led by Debby Kern Searching for Solid Ground by Reggie Harris WHO WILL ATTEND THE MEETING WITH US! (Note change of date to third Sunday in Jan.) Before renowned musician Reggie Harris was a sought-after performer, educator, cultural ambassador, and civil rights advocate, he was a low-income Black kid in Philadelphia with a love of music. He was transported by the vibrant sound that filled the air in his church, the voices calling out with passion, the rhythm and the release, and the powerful sense of community. Searching for Solid Ground is a captivating and deeply personal chronicle of Harris’s extraordinary life, from his early years, when his love of music was fueled by singing everywhere he could—at home, at church, and in the school choir—to performing across the world for over forty years as one half of the folk duo Kim and Reggie Harris, to his current work blending his musical gifts with a commitment to promote justice and peace and heal the racial divide.

Song Yet Sung by James McBride

In the days before the Civil War, a runaway slave named Liz Spocott breaks
free from her captors and escapes into the labyrinthine swamps of Maryland’s
eastern shore, setting loose a drama of violence and hope among slave catchers,
plantation owners, watermen, runaway slaves, and free blacks. Liz is near death,
wracked by disturbing visions of the future, and armed with “the Code,” a fiercely
guarded cryptic means of communication for slaves on the run. Liz’s flight and her
dreams of tomorrow will thrust all those near her toward a mysterious, redemptive
fate.
