Northwestern  University Homecoming &

Reunion Weekend Celebrates the 40th  Anniversary of the Amazingrace Coffee  
House







Friday,  October 21 

The Northwestern  student collective Amazingrace gained  prominence in the 
American counterculture hosting edgy  and subversive musical, comedy, and 
literary talents who  later came to much wider mainstream fame, including the  
Grateful Dead, Emmylou Harris, John Prine, Charles  Mingus, Ry Cooder, 
Steve Goodman, Keith Jarrett, Charles  Bukowski, Diane di Prima, Robert Coover, 
Steve Martin,  and many, many others. 
Learn  about the food, music, politics, and poetry that defined  this 
collective in the Classes Without Quizzes session:  The Adventure That Was 
Amazingrace.  An  exhibit at Northwestern University Library,  Amazingrace: 
Riffing Life in the Days of  Possibility, documents the history of this group  
with original silkscreen posters, vivid photographs,  flyers, handbills, and 
colorful artifacts of the period.  An opening reception will be hosted Friday 
evening.

Support  the Amazingrace Project 
Northwestern  University Library aspires to become the premier  repository 
of materials from the Amazingrace Collective  and to make them available to 
scholars researching U.S.  cultural history and popular music of the 1960s 
and 70s.  This project will digitize 300 hours of live music tapes  to make 
them available to listeners in the Library,  publish an illustrated book, and 
organize an exhibition  of notable Amazingrace artifacts. Learn more and
