DESCRIPTION:On November 13th and 14th, the Archives of African America

 and related activities are open to local and regional musicians, schol
 ars, students, and the general public for a nominal fee.\n\nReclaiming
  the Right to Rock: Black Experiences in Rock Music will bring togethe
 r Black rock musicians from different generations and regions with mus
 ic critics and scholars to discuss the socio-political history, musica

 representatives from the East and West coasts such as Linda Tillery, I
