About Salute to Gospel Music

What began in 1986 as a way to support the College of Lake County's Gospel Choir is now an annual program advocating personal development and cultural enrichment among people of color. It is one of CLC's best-known community outreach activities and aims to encourage African American youth to appreciate the many advantages of a CLC education.

Over the years, Salute to Gospel Music has showcased dynamic and legendary performers like The Winans, Shirley Caesar and many more. The prestigious list includes our featured guest in 2023, Grammy Nominated Artist Jekalynn Carr.

CLC is committed to supporting Salute to Gospel Music, which continues to grow in popularity. The program proves Black music motivates us to better our communities and brings races together despite our superficial differences.
