BLACK HISTORY MONTH & POET HAROLD GREEN
To mark Black History Month in February, SOPHY has invited the poet, storyteller, and speaker Harold Green for a series of Sunday events this winter. Harold Green is an ever-evolving artist whose vibrant storytelling and passionate, lyrical delivery captivates audiences. Poetry is his métier, but Green is a highly sought-after speaker, bandleader, and event producer. On Sunday, January 29, 2023, he’ll bring his unique talents to the Opus Suite at SOPHY Hyde Park. On this evening, Green is welcoming special guest Dave Jeff, a cultural architect, a builder of brands, the creator of PHLI, and the overall voice to many communities, including his home base of Hyde Park. This event, which will run from 4 pm to 7 pm, will include live music and a reception with hors d’oeuvres, Funkytown beer, selected wines, and a signed copy of Harold Green’s Black Oak: Odes Celebrating Powerful Black Men or Black Roses: Odes Celebrating Powerful Black Women.
