SUMMARY:Don't Stop Believin': Race and Class in Rock Music
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesdays – February 20 & 27 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nSince exploding on the scene in the late 1970s\, Journey has inspired generations of fans with hit after hit. This two-session virtual course taught by David Hamilton Golland dispels rehashed myths and also shows how race and class in popular music contributed to their breakout success. As the economy collapsed and as people abandoned the spirit of Woodstock in the late 70s\, Journey used the rhythm of soul and Motown to inspire hope in primarily white teenagers’ lives. Decades later\, the band and their signature song remain classics\, and now\, with singer Arnel Pineda\, they are again a fixture in major stadiums worldwide. \nDavid Hamilton Golland is a historian\, professor\, and writer with a wide background in twentieth-century social and cultural history. He is dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at Monmouth University and founder of The Journey Zone (journey-zone.com)\, the leading source for all things Journey over two decades. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack. This month’s novel is Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God. One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century\, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:British Invasion Part 1: Beginnings and Influences
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Tuesdays – September 19 & 26 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nBefore the Beatles kicked off the British Invasion of the US\, a musical revolution was underway in the UK. Teens reveled in listening to a specific type of American music: rock and roll from Elvis Presley\, Fats Domino\, Little Richard\, and more. Early Motown reached the Merseyside\, along with records by little-known (in America) R&B artists. At the same time\, James Brown and Ray Charles scored hits both in the US and the UK. However\, folk also attracted teens’ attention through a genre called skiffle\, a style that would greatly influence budding musicians such as John Lennon and Jimmy Page. \nThis two-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole examines the influences of these genres on what would become the British Invasion\, which would ultimately transform music worldwide. The class will survey the artists that would predate the Beatles: Billy Fury\, Cliff Richard\, the Shadows\, Tommy Steele\, The Vipers Skiffle Group\, and much more. It will reveal just how different the UK and US charts looked prior to the British Invasion\, and how these artists and numerous genres contributed to the transformation from 1950s to 1960s sounds. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.
