United in Praise 50th Anniversary Celebration Concert

United in Praise (UP), formerly the Modern Black Mass Choir (MBMC), is a diverse student group consisting of both undergraduate and graduate Duke University students who profess the Christian faith. The choir is one of the oldest student groups on the campus of Duke University. During the mid-sixties, a time when Duke did not openly embrace its cultural and ethnic diversity, the Modern Black Mass Choir was organized in a local church for Duke’s Black students. In 1972, the choir was reorganized as a Duke University student group.
