by Reggie Harris (Author), Linda Hansell (With)
An inspiring narrative of bridge-building, hope, and resilience from a beloved folk musician.
Before renowned musician Reggie Harris was a sought-after performer, educator, cultural ambassador, and civil rights advocate, he was a low-income Black kid in Philadelphia with a love of music. He was transported by the vibrant sound that filled the air in his church, the voices calling out with passion, the rhythm and the release, and the powerful sense of community.
Searching for Solid Ground is a captivating and deeply personal chronicle of Harris's extraordinary life, from his early years, when his love of music was fueled by singing everywhere he could--at home, at church, and in the school choir--to performing across the world for over forty years as one half of the folk duo Kim and Reggie Harris, to his current work blending his musical gifts with a commitment to promote justice and peace and heal the racial divide.
Harris shares his triumphs and his struggles, his hard-won wisdom and insights, including the challenges he faced launching a career in folk music as a Black musician, his transformative experience hearing James Baldwin speak and the beginnings of his own justice work, and a harrowing journey back to health through the gift of a liver transplant, among many other remarkable moments.
