On November 2, 2022, the Boston University School of Theology with the generous support of the Lowell Institute<\/a> was proud to sponsor the bi-annual Lowell Lecture<\/a> in the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground. The lecture by Dr. Emmett G. Price III<\/a>, entitled \u201cThe Sacred Sounds of Black Disinherited Creatives,\u201d sought to demonstrate how the Black\/African-American experience has been shaped by and expressed through spirituality and the creative, transcendent power of music. Following the lecture, guest respondents Assistant Professor of New Testament Shively T.J. Smith<\/a> and Rev. Joshua Lazard<\/a> (STH\u201925) insightfully remarked on the engaging talk along with Greg Groover, Jr., Assistant Chair of Ensemble at Berklee College of Music, who responded musically by playing his tenor saxophone. The responsive panel was moderated by Professor of Music Andrew Shenton<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
