SUMMARY:Journey of the Drum-Celebration of the Griot
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of Black History Month during February 2022\, COCC is honored to welcome speakers and programs that highlight Black triumph. Celebrate the past and present triumphs of the Black community while continuing our efforts to challenge oppressive systems and strive toward a more equitable future. \n \nTraditionally\, a Griot is a West African historian\, storyteller\, praise singer\, poet\, or musician.

If you have a drum you would like to use COCC encourages you to bring it for the interactive portion of the event.
