In celebration of the birthday of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., USC presents Nobody Knows: (Un)Muted Voices.
Nobody Knows: (Un)Muted Voices is inspired by the first two words of the African American spiritual, “Nobody Knows (The Troubles I’ve Seen).” To highlight the challenges and triumphs of those walking silently in the shadows, USC professors Ronald C. McCurdy and Anita Dashiell-Sparks will curate performances by students who will tell their stories via poetry, dance, video and music.
