Robert Randolph at Harding University, where he was rocking so hard that the students just had to rush the stage and rock with him. Amazing moment!

  • What many people don't know is that Harding recently had its annual "Spring Sing". That's where a bunch of the students sing and (Gasp) dance onstage to entertain everyone watching. Why is Spring Sing acceptable? Because, according to Harding, it's "Choreographed Movement". Not dance. Surely even the students can see the hypocracy in this. Who are they (or any of us, for that matter) to dictate how people express their emotions and spirituality?

  • It's just the rules of the school.

  • Does anyone know the racial make-up of Harding University? God bless the U.S.A., and no-one else.

  • The majority of Harding University is white but we do have a very diverse student body. Many African Americans, a large amount of Hispanic and Asian. We have students from many different countries. Why do you ask?

  • I am cosidering enrollment and would prefer to go to a diverse campus such as Harding. I looked at the town of Searcy and it did not seem very diverse. I had read that the university and the town are almost one in the same but that was probably internet jibber jabber. It is hard to find a school these days that is culturally diverse yet still has sensible policies like not being allowed to dance while on campus.

  • I will tell you because I go to Harding right now that it is a pretty diverse student body, and it's getting more so every year. I am white and so I can't speak for people of other cultures and races and the way that they feel about it. Harding is a great school from my experience.

  • Ahhh.... I have such good memories of this. I still laugh at it...even after...4 or 5 years. Great stuff. What a fun night.

  • Robert Randolph is having a T-shirt design contest! They have more info on their website.

  • why we gotta have white schools and black schools? color doesn't mean anything you don't let it mean. it's all in people's minds, just remember the only people who see color are them that choose to see it

  • OBCT U looks more like it

  • this is what a concert should be like

  • hahaha... I'm sorry I wasn't there for this. I hate harding with a passion and only go there because my parents pay for my schooling. Their rules are ridiculous... But this, this is brilliant. :)

  • Of course it was a rule. From what I understand, Harding did not pay Mr. Randolph for this performance because he did not follow the "rule." Tell Dr. Burks and the rest of the pompus rear ends at Harding to render to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar.

  • I hope you're happy with yourself after posting something like that.

  • Robert Randolph invited everyone onto the stage. I was there, and you can actually see me kiss him on the cheek if you look carefully. It was awesome. Unless you go to Harding, you have no place in judging it, or assuming you know how it is. It is diverse, but that depends on your definition. If we focus on the issues and forget the goodness of it, then what good is that? We aren't claiming to be better or more holy than anyone. We are just looking for a good dance... just like you.

  • I went to Harding in the early 70's. I was in the first spring sing and I think we won or at least got 2nd. To long ago to remember. I remember our choreography back then and it was nothing like it is today. I think we just swayed. lol. I never really understood Harding's take on entertainment I mean you could dance and sing secular music on stage with instruments but in church it was all prim and proper. oh well, its still a free country. I think.
