WIS-TV newscaster Susan Aude Fisher is among the local personalities who will offer testimonials in support of teachers. There are plenty of thoughtful criticisms of schools, but there should be a moment to celebrate teachers. Shout music combines elements of gospel and jazz, Kridel said, but is primarily driven by its celebratory nature and social conscience. Kridel was attracted to Kenny Carr and the Tigers because of their involvement in Charlotte's education community.
All events are free and open to the public.
Between musical numbers, the speakers will share their positive experiences with teachers who have made a difference in their lives. Sponsors include the USC Bicentennial Commission and College of Education Social Foundations Program. USC's African American Studies Program, department of English and Women's Studies Program also have provided support. Providing funding is university benefactor Dr. John Hawley.
