ACTC, Highlands partner for Gospel Night
Feb. 19, 2019
Gospel Night will be at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 21 at the Highlands Museum and
Discovery Center. This event is part of Ashland Community and Technical College’s
free Black History Month community programs.
At Gospel Night, choirs and individual singers from African American churches
throughout the Tri-State will sing the songs that have inspired generations of Americans.
From humble beginnings as Negro spirituals, the sound and spirit of black gospel music
has become a profound force in American music and culture.
This year’s performers are from Christ Temple Church in Ashland, First Baptist
Church in Burlington, Ohio, and Mt. Olive Baptist Church and New Jerusalem Christian
Center, both in Ironton.
Following the performances, refreshments will be served, provided by Mary’s Kitchen
Catering. Other sponsors of the event are the Boyd and Greenup Counties Branch of
the NAACP and Pathways.
