ULM welcomed traveling artist Rachel Hastings who performed her poem “Seven” Tuesday night in Brown Auditorium as part of the University’s month-long celebration of Black History Month.
Hastings was brought in to perform by the Communications Department.
“Seven” advised that the preservation and revolution of African and Eastern cultures are critical for black heritage to continue thriving.
Her poetry performances relied on background music and stage prompts. She danced and used her body to express her ideas on the status of contemporary black culture. Hastings also discussed pregnancy, hardship and ancient black heroes.
