Beyond the Spotlight: Tina Turner

Join us for a special event to hear James Dekle, artist-in-residence at Purdue Black Cultural Center, discuss the life, career, and legacy of the incomparable Tina Turner. Known as the “Queen of Rock and Roll”, Turner’s career had many chapters and garnered her much acclaim as she helped to break ground for future generations of female artists who followed in her footsteps to take control of their own careers. This event will also include special musical performances by Purdue students and ensembles.
