Central State chorus to sing at Tubb Jones memorial
The Central State University Chorus will perform on Saturday, Aug. 30, at the memorial service for late U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. The service will be held at 11 a.m. at the Cleveland Public Auditorium and Convention Center.
Tubbs Jones, the first black elected to the House of Representatives from Ohio and a leader in the fight against predatory lending practices, died Wednesday, Aug. 20. She was 58. The cause was a ruptured brain aneurysm that Ms. Tubbs Jones suffered Aug. 19.
The Central State University Chorus, under the direction of William Henry Caldwell, has a repertoire encompassing all periods and styles, including black spiritual music.
Central State University in Wilberforce is the only public historically black university in Ohio.
