Black History Expo | The Beat That Connects US: Rhythm & the African Diaspora at Portsmouth Main Library (Portsmouth)
February 28 @ 3:15 pm - 4:15 pm
Join Rita Addico Cohen, Founder and Executive Director of the Tidewater African Cultural Alliance (TACA), for an inspiring exploration of rhythm as a universal language that links the African diaspora across continents and generations. From traditional African drumming and dance to gospel, jazz, reggae, and Afrobeats, Mrs. Addico Cohen traces how rhythm carries history, identity, and resilience, shaping the heartbeat of Black culture worldwide. This interactive talk invites audiences to listen, feel, and reflect on how rhythm continues to unite communities, celebrate heritage, and tell the story of a people whose influence moves the world.
