Paris has given guest lectures at the University of California, Santa Barbara, including a lecture titled, "Sweet Soul Music," where he discussed racism in the 1950s, including the 1955 murder of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African-American teen. His lecture also addressed the ways in which soul music helped break down barriers between white and black audiences.[2]
