Celebrate Black History Month at Royal Oak Public Library
One summer day in 1958 a young photographer took a picture of dozens of America’s jazz legends all gathered in one place. This famous photograph became known as A Great Day in Harlem. Join Stu Johnson, Royal Oak resident and frequent speaker, on Thursday, February 27 at 7:00 pm as he takes us to that fateful day with the back story, photos, and of course, great music. Musicians profiled include Theloneous Monk, Hank Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, and Coleman Hawkins.
