Join UC San Diego Black Like Water for a special event featuring the screening of the powerful documentary film, "Wade in the Water: A Journey into Black Surfing and Aquatic Culture." This award-winning film reclaims the 1,000-year-old tradition of Black surfing. Braiding historical accounts with modern-day testimonials, Wade in the Water dismantles the racial barriers of conventional surf culture, delves into the overlooked history of Black surfing's legacy, and honors its current movement—inspiring the next generation of Black surfers. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Prof. Caroline Collins (UCSD, Urban Studies and Planning) and featuring: David Mesfin (Director, Wade in the Water), Prof. Kevin Dawson (UC Merced, History, author of Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African Diaspora) and Risa Bell (Founder, Paddle for Peace). This event is brought to you by Black Like Water, a scholarly research collaboration between Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the 8 Colleges, UC San Diego Recreation, the Black Resource Center, Black Diaspora and African American Studies Program, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor of Equity, Diversity & Inclusion. This screening was made possible by support from the UC San Diego Black Studies project and a Healing Through Nature Grant from The Prebys Foundation.

Earth, Wind & Fire are a music institution. In 1969, music legend Maurice White birthed the music force named after the elements from his very own astrological charts. With soul as deep as the plant, Earth, Wind & Fire charted a history that will live on forever. They’ve scored eight number one hits and have sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. They’ve released 23 albums; eight of those albums went Double Platinum and hit the Top 10, making them one of the best-selling artists of all time. They've won an impressive nine GRAMMY® Awards including one for Lifetime Achievement (2012). In 2000, Earth, Wind & Fire was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, cementing their lasting impact on popular music and, in 2019, their contributions to arts and culture was acknowledged in Washington DC with the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors. The music of Earth, Wind & Fire is more alive than ever as they continue to inspire new audiences and thrill those who have been with them from the beginning. Like the elements in their name, Earth, Wind & Fire’s music has withstood ever-changing trends in the world and shows no sign of vanishing as they continue to create joy and uplifting music that will forever reach a sacred universal atmosphere. From the funky and infectious “Let’s Groove” to the timeless dance classic “September” to the heartfelt “Reasons,” Earth, Wind & Fire’s catalog of hits has become the soundtrack to many lives; now, then and forever.
