Educational Music Series

Soulful Discussions

Launching on the first Tuesday of each month, Soulful Discussions makes its return with renewed energy at MSAAHC. Originally founded in 2010 at the historic Paul Robeson Theatre, the program is reimagined as an intergenerational, co-ed exploration series designed to foster inclusive dialogue through literature, performance, and the arts.

Guests will experience thought-provoking book conversations, staged readings of plays and/or screenplays, and author presentations featuring live excerpts from their works. The series creates a welcoming space to celebrate Black history, literature, and artistic expression while encouraging diverse voices to join the conversation. Authors, artists, and community members interested in presenting their work are invited to contact Paulette D. Harris, Programs Director.
