Westbrooks Collection and documents Westbrooks’s influence on the music industry during his time at Capitol, Mercury, CBS, Soul Train, and Source Records. Included are photographs of Lou Rawls, Gamble and Huff, Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, Chuck Brown, Dick Griffey and Don Cornelius, and many others.

Westbrooks will also present two 60-minute public lectures in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center on Feb. 4th at 5:00 pm and the Showers City Hall on Feb. 5th at 6:30 pm. Receptions to follow both events. An additional exhibit on the black music industry will be featured in the lobby of the Showers City Hall from Feb. 1th-Feb. 28th.
