The African American Arts Institute and the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center present “Hanging with Dr. Mumford.”

Dr. James E. Mumford, former director of the IU Soul R***e and longtime director of the African American Choral Ensemble, was an incomparable musician, mentor, and educator. His dedication to his craft led to an unshakable legacy that has helped shape the fabric of Indiana University.

In the spirit of Dr. Mumford, join Dr. Sykes on April 6th at 7:00 PM in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center Grand Hall for this historic event. 💜
