âThe discussions between the two choirs started about five years ago,â Valerie Johnson, Bennettâs choir director, said. âWe are the only two historically black colleges for women in the country, and that in itself is reason to celebrate. We hope this concert represents a new tradition in the lives of the two colleges.â
