Randolph College’s female a cappella group, Songshine, did more than relax over the summer. Members of the group were invited to perform at James Madison University on June 24. The invitation was issued by Nikki Giovanni, the internationally known poet, who heard Songshine during her visit to Randolph College during the spring.
The group performed at a poetry reading by poet and social justice activist Sonia Sanchez. The reading on June 24 was part of a weeklong seminar on African American poetry at JMU.
Songshine, founded in 1972, has a long history at the College. Auditions for the group will be held this fall.
