 Take
6
Monday,
January 16, 2006
7:30 PM
Hill Auditorium
This award-winning contemporary Christian sextet broke
new ground in acappella music, paving the way for
the popular revival of R&B vocal groups.“Classic
Black gospel quartet singing is really what Take 6 grew
out of when we started back in the mid 1980s,” says
Detroit native Cedric Dent, a founder of the group. While
never losing their grounding in bedrock gospel, over the
years Take 6 has built a signature sound that draws from
gospel, jazz, doo-wop, R&B, 1960s soul, and hip-hop.
They will be performing music from their 2006 album, Feels
Good, to close this year's Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. Day activities on the U-M campus.
Main Floor $30 / $ 26 / $22 / $14

Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin
6:00 PM
D1276, William Davidson Hall,
Ross School of Business
Brother Outsider relies on archival film footage and
interviews to offer a portrait of political activist Bayard
Rustin.
Although his name lacks the
familiarity of other major
Civil Rights leaders,
the film shows that he nonetheless
played a central role in the movement's seminal events during
the 1950s and '60s. Rustin's political liabilities, however,
often kept him out of the spotlight.
Brother Outsider includes ample footage of
Rustin himself, adding an autobiographical aspect to this
feisty portrait.
Tuesday January 24
Brother to Brother
6:00 PM;
D1270, William Davidson Hall,
