Mary Dobbin Williams, uses her remarkable voice to take participants on a journey to a time when songs of hope resonated throughout the southern landscape. Mary will share her insights on the significance of the human voice during the days of slavery and the civil rights movement. Our voices and the songs we sing are an important part of our family histories and are shaped by the different seasons of our lives. They serve as a crucial narrative of our identity as individuals, as a community, and as a family. Mary Dobbin Williams is a native of Garner, NC. She has performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
