Join us in Keeping the Legacy of the Negro Spiritual Alive by attending our annual Festival of the Negro Spiritual! Hosted at Baptist Bible Fellowship thanks to the generosity of Pastor James Jenkins. Featuring our dear friends Heritage from Baton Rouge, and the wonderful Grambling State University Concert Choir, along with the Ebony Jubilee Singers children’s choir and our own New Dimensions Choral Society choir.
— Participating Choirs —

- Ebony Jubilee Singers, a Northwest Louisiana children’s choir under the direction of our own John Collins
- And, of course, us, the New Dimensions Choral Society under the direction of our own Artistic Director Patricia Britton-Hall, with special directors Natorshau Davis and Nolan Budgewater II and a wonderful Tenor solo by Anthony Cheathem
