In spite of the innumerable obstacles that were placed before us, our unique culture made in America remains rich with our African heritage. The contributions we have made to the fabric of America are undeniable as well as our continued commitment to equal justice for all under the law.

Ruthie Foster
2026-06-26 20:00 | The Freight, 2020 Addison St, Berkeley, CA, 94704, United States
Ruthie Foster‘s musical journey is as eclectic and vibrant as her soulful voice. Born into a family steeped in gospel tradition, Ruthie’s earliest influences were the voices of her mother, grandmother, and the gospel singers she grew up listening to — artists like the Gospel Keynotes and the Blind Boys of Alabama. However, her path to becoming a solo artist wasn’t a straightforward one. Despite a deep love for music, Ruthie initially shied away from the spotlight, preferring to play guitar, piano, and write songs for others.
