‘Unapologetic’ Screening & Discussion

HUMANITIES BROADCAST - Q&A with director Ashley O’Shay, moderated by Tila Neguse, project coordinator of the Divided City Initiative, Center for the Humanities, Washington University.

For nearly three decades, Edward “Nardie” White has led an after-school community drum corps (River City Drum Corp) in Louisville, Ky., drawing on Pan-African culture and music to reach and mentor youth in his West End neighborhood. Now in his 60s, Mr. White feels he must step down to allow the drum corps to evolve with a new generation. River City Drumbeat is the story of Mr. White’s final year and the training of his successor, Albert Shumake, a young man whose troubled life was transformed by the drumline.
