Concert featuring Maia Sharp
Time: 7pm – Location: Rotunda
Four years ago, Maia Sharp achieved a lifelong ambition, when Bonnie Raitt invited her to open for and perform with her on the road. Now it's your turn: If you're hoping to hear music that will mirror, touch and maybe change your life, that dream comes true with Maia’s new album Echo. Echo is a collection of those truths and a thorough representation of who Maia Sharp is today. Join OUS as Maia Sharp kicks off her tour on the campus of OUS.

Goetz and Hunt became friends during the year she taught him in the sixth grade. Seven years later, in 1984, when she read the news story of his arrest in North Carolina for the rape and murder of a white newspaper copy editor, Goetz faced her own fear of reprisal in a racially torn community and took the witness stand as Hunt’s only character witness. For the next 20 years after Hunt’s conviction, she stood by his side in a struggle for freedom and justice that divided a community.
