Hackley spring-summer lecture series begins with ‘Southern Soul’
An ideal companion piece to the feature by Carleton Gholz on the newly-formed Detroit Sound Conservancy is this invite to attend the lecture series sponsored by the E. Azalia Hackley Collection at the Detroit Public Library (located on the third floor of the
Main Library).
The 2012 Hackley Lecture Series is free and open to the public and begins this Wednesday with Southern Soul: The History of Stax Records. We spotted another can’t miss event, In the Director’s Chair: The Movies of Spike. That one is July 25.
