Famed New Orleans jazz saxophonist and Berklee alum Donald Harrison (left), featured in When the Levees Broke — and who has played with Miles Davis and mentored the Notorious B.I.G., among others — gave a special New Orleans-style blessing to Berklee’s new Africana Studies center recently. The room is a space on campus for students to be actively involved with the Africana Studies curriculum initiative. He was accompanied by percussionists Thimba Mkhatshwa and Berklee Presidential scholar Joseph C. Dyson (right).
