Gospel and Christian music call this city home. But until now, there hasn’t been an obvious physical location.
With the opening of the
Museum of Christian & Gospel Music this month, we’ll look at the history of a unique genre that focuses as much on the lyrics and meaning as the song itself. We’re joined by historians, executives and a Dove Award winning artist. Additionally, our guests will highlight the importance of race and how it shaped today's world of Contemporary Christian Music.
This episode was produced by
Josh Deepan and
Jewly Hight.
