This second encounter in the Psychedelic Soul series examines the explosion of activity - cultural, social, and political - that took place in this historical moment in 1967. The many social strands of society that were being transformed and confronted could be thought of as a singular force of its own, a wave of consciousness and a sense that people collectively were creating something entirely new. The series “Psychedelic Soul” is presented by the Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) and the California Historical Society.

‍Panel includes:

Avotcja Jiltonilro (poet, radio producer, playwright, musician & DJ)‍

Archbishop Franzo King (co-founder of the St. John Coltrane Church)

‍Sugar Pie DeSanto (Afro-Filipino Award winning Rhythm-&-Blues Singer/Composer)

Moderated by Rickey Vincent, Author of Party Music and lecturer at UC Berkeley and California College of the Arts.

‍CHS and MoAD believe in the radical reframing of the Summer of Love to ensure that it encompasses the multitude of voices involved and inherent movements that shaped it. Some are well known, others are not. Our duty is to all histories and to ensure a deep, critical examination of the Summer of Love.
