Gospel Music Concert Celebrates Black History Month, February 20, 2009

Embassy Vatican hosted a gospel music concert on February 20, 2009, featuring Timothy Martin and the Amazing Grace Gospel Choir in honor of Black History Month.  More than 200 people listened to rousing renditions of gospel classics like "Amazing Grace" and "Little Light of Mine."  Adding to the music was the setting in the centuries-old Jesuit church of Oratorio del Caravita.  Guests - including a Cardinal, Ambassadors, and members of the Caravita community - received a colorful program highlighting the history of African-American achievements and describing the soulful story of gospel music.
