Warren-Newport Public Library

Meeting Room A/B, Clevertouch

Presented by Clarence Goodman

A multimedia concert featuring African American music of the 20th Century.

Musician, historian, and radio personality Clarence Goodman has been all over the place and all over the map. From entertaining senior citizens at retirement communities to performing at wine bars, and from giving "virtual tours" based on Chicago history to leading actual physical tours around the Windy City and to hosting inciteful, provocative radio programs, he has quickly earned a reputation since returning to his hometown.
