“FINDING
FELA,” is a compelling and unforgettable look at the late Fela Kuti, a
Nigerian cultural and political hero who was a pioneer of the AfroBeat sound, a
fusion of traditional Ghanian and Nigerian music with jazz, James Brown-style
hard funk, vocal chants and a penchant for going on and on for long stretches.
The power and potency of Fela’s message is as current today as it was decades
ago and is expressed in the political movements of oppressed people, in their
struggle for freedom. DATE: Friday, October 17, 2014 TIME: 7:00pm
– 9:00pm COST: $10.00 Admission SCHEDULE: Doors will open at
6:30PM

Coates is one of the most original and perceptive voices in black America—and
one of our best writers, period. His timber is rich, emotional with depth and a
sonar sense of how pop culture, politics, and history shape discussions of
diversity. Here at the DuSable Museum we hail Coates as a “young James Baldwin
of the hip hop generation” Coates reference Baldwin; “After all his hard
talk—Baldwin is still talking about love. His essays are amazing acts of
intellectual and emotional courage.”
