Franklin Thompson, Ed.D., will kick off the UNMC Diversity Lectures and Cultural Arts Series celebration of Black History Month on Thursday, Feb. 5 with a noon presentation titled “Things That Make You Go Hmmm … Missing Links to a Greater Understanding of Race Relations.”<\/p>\n

Then, on Friday, Feb. 13, Galen Abdur-Razzaq — a master flutist who has played throughout the world for more than 30 years — will present a jazz performance titled “Notes at Noon.”<\/p>\n

Abdur-Razzaq — known onstage simply as Galen — is widely known and respected as an arranger, composer, director and educator who has performed and recorded with some of the world’s greatest musicians. <\/p>\n

He has shared the stage with world-renowned artists such as Billy Taylor, Melba Moore, Sun Ra, John Patton and many others. <\/p>\n

Galen will present a lecture\/jazz performance that will take the audience through the history of jazz. <\/p>\n
