Scoot visits with friend of the show Deacon John about his upcoming Jazz Fest appearance and the many dozen he has done since the first Jazz Fest in Congo Square
This week, we're pulling back the curtain on American music history—and asking who really gets to define it. Grammy-winning Blues musician and cultural historian Chris Thomas King drops in to break down why everything we've been taught about the origins of the blues is wrong. Because Chris is letting it be known: it didn't start on Mississippi plantations—he's taking us to Congo Square, Creole New Orleans, and Storyville, where he argues the blues was born out of resistance, freedom, and Saturday night defiance. From ancient African instruments to the invention of “jazz” as a sanitizing label, this conversation reclaims the radical roots of Black music—and why they still matter.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week on the podcast, after the inspiring conversation in our last episode with Wesley Watkins about The Jazz & Democracy Project and more, I couldn't resist giong back into the GC archives for an encore presentation of my conversation with Maestro Wynton Marsalis. We recorded this conversation when the podcast was just a toddler, back in the days when we were just “doing something” and not yet “manifesting a new world.” It was also on the eve of the 2020 election, however, like so many of our conversations the topics and insights remain evergreen. How far we've come and continue to carry on! Check out the original show notes for more on his bio and topics of interest (https://glocalcitizens.fireside.fm/47).

It's Thursday and that means it's time to catch up on the week in politics with The Times-Picayune/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, Stephanie Grace. Today we discuss new security protocols for parades and new legislation about parade-goer encampments. “A cultural revolution on wheels.” That's how the Krewe of Alla describes its Mardi Gras parade this year. Named in honor of Algiers, Louisiana, the 93-year-old New Orleans Krewe rolled this week, and at its helm were Gian Durand and James Carter, the krewe's first ever Black Queen and King. Durand and Carter spoke with WRKF's Karen Henderson about their historic first.If you've ever woken up at dawn on Mardi Gras day and gone to see the Krewe of Skull and Bones in the Treme Neighborhood, then you might recognize Voodoo Queen Kalindah Laveaux blessing the morning. Or perhaps you recognize her from the Mardi Gras Indian tribe, the Yellow Pocahontas or for holding community rituals on Sundays with her snake in Congo Square. As a local New Orleanian and descendant of local legends, Queen Kalindah brings spiritualism and cultural traditions to the city, year round. She joins us to discuss the spiritual underpinnings of Fat Tuesday, and give a drum performance alongside Lola Bolivar. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

James "Sugar Boy" Crawford is Born. New Orleans musician James "Sugar Boy" Crawford, Jr., born on October 12, 1934, was the author of "Jock-A-Mo" (1954), a hit that was later recreated as "Iko Iko" by The Dixie Cups and recorded by many artists including Dr. John, Belle Stars, The Grateful Dead, Cyndi Lauper, and as "Geto Boys" by Glass Candy. Starting out on trombone, Crawford formed a band which local DJ Doctor Daddy-O named "The Chapaka Shawee" (Creole for "We Aren't Raccoons"). Although his song "Jock-A-Mo" became a standard at the New Orleans Mardi Gras, Crawford himself disappeared from public view, and in a 2002 interview for Offbeat Magazine, told how his career came to an abrupt halt in 1963, after a severe beating at the hands of state troopers incapacitated him for two years, forcing him to leave the music industry. In 1969, he decided to limit his singing to in church only. In 2012 Crawford made a guest appearance singing gospel on an episode of the HBO series Treme. He died one month before the episode aired. He died on September 15, 2012. after a brief illness in a hospice at age 77. (Wiki) This week in Louisiana. 2024 Nola Reggae Fest Fri. Oct. 25 2024 — Sun.

När författaren James Baldwin träffade Ingmar Bergman fick han idé till en egen film. Aleksander Motturi reflekterar över vad som gör Baldwin så aktuell i vår tid och kanske i alla tider. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Publicerad 2018-01-23.När den amerikanske författaren James Baldwin är på väg tillbaka från Filmstaden i Råsunda vintern 1959, där han precis har intervjuat Ingmar Bergman, roar han sig med att planera en film som han skulle kunna göra om han hade varit regissör.Anledningen till denna tankelek är att han urskiljer vissa likheter mellan Bergmans filmer och sitt eget skrivande.Inga nordiska sagor, men däremot den amerikanska söderns musikMer specifikt funderar han på hur en film i egen regi skulle utformas om den intog samma plats som ”Det sjunde inseglet” gör i Bergmans konstnärliga produktion.I en sådan film finns, inser han, förvisso inga nordiska sagor, men däremot den amerikanska söderns musik med bilder av allt från afrikanska tomtomtrummor och Congo Square till de europeiska delarna av afrikanska städer.Samma öde skulle pågå i generation efter generation.Baldwins filmidé börjar med att några slavar stiger ombord på skeppet ”Jesus”. Det är ett vitt skepp med vita segel och vita herrar på ett mörkt hav lastat med svarta slavar. På skeppet skulle det finnas en omedgörlig och benhård figur vars eviga öde var att avrättas.Den här mannen kunde ta skepnad av en häxdoktor, en prins eller en sångare. Oavsett vilket skulle han dö, svepas in i havets vågor, för att han hade försökt rädda en svart kvinna som bar på hans barn. Barnet skulle sedan leda ett uppror bland slavarna. Och hängas för det.Samma öde skulle pågå i generation efter generation. Under rekonstruktionen efter amerikanska inbördeskriget skulle han mördas när han lämnade kongressen. När han återvände som soldat från första världskriget skulle han bli levande begravd. Under depressionen skulle han uppträda som jazzmusiker och tappa förståndet.Det är många tankar och frågor som reser sig innan Baldwin kommer tillbaka till sitt hotellrum i skymningen, bland dessa frågor plågas han inte minst av den tragiske hjältens öde i samtiden.Vems skepnad skulle han inta i nuet?Vad som gör James Baldwin till en så omistlig intellektuell även i vår tid är inte bara att han, efter uppväxten i Harlem, blir en av Amerikas mest omvälvande författare, utan också den typ av vändningar som hans författarskap tar under exilen.Det är, trots allt, i Europa som han (med två album av bluesstjärnan Bessie Smith på grammofonen) skriver debutromanen "Go Tell It on the Mountain", som följs av homoerotiska "Giovannis Room" vid sidan av essäer och pjäser som "The Amen Corner".I essäerna finns ett annat anslag än det vi ser i romanerna. I fiktionen förvaltar han sin konstnärliga frihet på ett sätt som det inte ges utrymme för på de vardagliga slagfälten där de personliga förlusterna är oundvikliga.Det är också denna frihet – som tar form av ett ansvar att vittna, aldrig bli delaktig i världens likgiltighet – som lockar honom till mötet med den unge svenske demonregissören.”Vita amerikaner tror inte på döden”, skriver Baldwin, ”och det är därför mitt mörka skinn skrämmer dem så.”Bergman är vänlig nog att bjuda Baldwin på te, men han vill inte prata om sina gamla filmer, allra minst ”Det sjunde inseglet”, vilken också förefaller Baldwin kylig, beräknande och mindre intressant än vissa av hans andra produktioner.Det tycks vara den okuvliga lätthet med vilken universella frågor hanteras i Bergmans filmer som har fångat Baldwins intresse. I jämförelse med Europa, efter andra världskriget, framstår den amerikanska kulturen som infantil i det faktum att den inte vågar ställas mot döden, det tragiska.I Baldwins legendariska essä ”The Fire Next Time” från 1963 är detta tema ännu tydligare:”Vita amerikaner tror inte på döden”, skriver Baldwin, ”och det är därför mitt mörka skinn skrämmer dem så.”Vad som intresserar Baldwin är att Bergman inser och accepterar sina begränsningar, både de personliga och sociala.Den svarte mannen ligger som en skugga över hela nationen. Han är en serie skuggor, självskapade, överlappande, som alltid bekämpas. Man kan, påpekar han, säga att den svarte inte finns annat än i vårt inre mörker. Och så fortsätter han:”Det förefaller mig att man borde glädjas åt dödens faktum – borde besluta sig för att förtjäna sin död genom att med hänförelse ta itu med livets gåta. Man har ansvar gentemot livet: det är det lilla fyrskenet i det skrämmande mörker från vilket vi kommer till vilket vi ska återvända. Man måste göra den färden så vacker som möjligt – för deras skull som kommer efter oss.”I en intervju från 1961 får han frågan om mötet med Bergman som hade ägt rum ett drygt år tidigare.Återigen kommer friheten på tal. Vad som intresserar Baldwin är att Bergman inser och accepterar sina begränsningar, både de personliga och sociala. Det är just detta som utmärker hans frihet. Baldwin menar inte att Bergman underkastade sig dessa begränsningar, inte heller att han var ”passiv i mötet med dem”.Poängen är att Ingmar Bergman ”insåg att han var Ingmar Bergman, att han kunde göra vissa saker och inte andra, och att han inte skulle leva för evigt”.I Baldwins perspektiv förstod Bergman någonting som människor i USA har ”mycket svårt att förstå: att livet är mycket svårt, mycket svårt för var och en av oss, för alla som är födda.”I ”I am Not Your Negro” – Raoul Pecks uppmärksammade essäfilm om Baldwin – finns ett stillsamt ögonblick där kameran fokuserar en harmonisk flod omgiven av prunkande grönska, klätterväxter som speglas i vattenytan.”I Amerika var jag fri endast i strid, aldrig för att vila"Inga spektakulära bilder av polisbrutalitet, våld, förtryck kommer nu i dager. Inte heller framträder visualiseringar av motståndets skiftningar, varken från sextiotalets alla massprotester eller de som äger rum idag under parollen ”black lives matter”.Över de fridfulla flodbilderna hör man istället Baldwins text:”I Amerika var jag fri endast i strid, aldrig för att vila. Och den som inte finner någonstans att vila kommer inte att överleva striden länge.”Kanske fångar denna passage den filosofiska kärnan i hans positionering i de svartas frigörelsekamp?För Baldwin är frågan om ”verkligheten” avgörande. De oskuldsfulla vita människorna som begår brottet befinner sig inte där, i verkligheten, de inser inte att tragedin är inneboende i människans liv.”Liv är”, skriver han, ”tragiskt helt enkelt därför att jorden vrider sig runt och solen obönhörligen stiger och sjunker, och för var och en av oss kommer det en dag då solen går ner för allra sista gången.”Roten till de mänskliga svårigheterna är, enligt Baldwin, att vi är villiga att offra all skönhet i vårt liv och spärra in oss i symboler, tabuföreställningar, kors, blodsoffer, kyrkspiror, moskéer, raser, arméer, flaggor, nationer, för att förneka det enda faktum vi har: döden.Vi vet att Baldwin aldrig lät realisera sin filmidé. Han dömer på sätt och vis ut den redan i tankeprocessen. Han inser att han aldrig någonsin skulle kunna få ut lika mycket av sin historia som Ingmar Bergman fått ut av sitt förflutna.På vissa sätt är det, framhåller Baldwin, enklare för Bergman att handskas med det förflutna än vad det skulle vara för honom själv. Dels är det för Bergman både mer avlägset och närvarande, dels lider han inte av kampen med en tungrodd och oacceptabel bitterhet. Den tragiske hjälten i Baldwins föreställda film, hans sjunde insegel, skulle i samtiden ta gestalt av en narkoman.Men det är kanske inte hans oundvikliga öde, utan en tanke som följer av den tungrodda uppgivenheten?Detta mycket tänkbara scenario, att hjälten i vår tid dör i missbruk, visar, enligt Baldwin, förvisso på ett sätt den sträcka som Amerikas svarta generationer tillryggalagt.Men bara på ett sätt. Inte ovillkorligen blir han en narkoman.När det väl kommer till kritan handlar konsten om att uppbåda mod att gestalta den tragiske hjälten som sig själv, hur smärtsamt det än är.För all konst är ett slags bekännelse, mer eller mindre indirekt. Vi måste till sist berätta hela historien, inte bara den tänkbara, för att överleva.Aleksander Motturi, författare Litteratur: "Go tell it on the Mountain". James Baldwin. Knopf.

525. Part 1 of our conversation with John Holland about his work writing comic books. "Die Bold Comics is the home of the words of John Holland and an assortment of fantastic artists. I've been very fortunate over the years to work with some amazing artists. You might recognize the names of some of the artists such as Sam Kieth, the creator of The Maxx, but even the ones you've never heard of are amazing artists and I think you'll agree. The type of comics we create range all over the map as far as genres go. We have science fiction, horror, slice of life, super hero and pretty much any type you can think of. Our comics are for adults as well as kids of all ages. You're sure to find something here that you will like." This week in Louisiana history. June 1, 1862. Gen.

This week, it's murderous mobs in town squares in New Orleans & murderous cults in evil buildings in New York! First up, Lauren takes a trip down south to her favorite city and takes us into a True Crime story she herself was spooked by on a recent ghost tour in New Orleans! In 1891, eleven Italian Americans were murdered by a mob for their rumored role in the killing of a police chief. None of them were actually proven to be guilty of the murder…but that didn't stop a group of angry townspeople from violently attacking them. Some say if you visit NOLA's Congo Square today, you may feel the spirits of the victims or even hear their voices crying out for help. Is The Big Easy really The Big Sleazy?!Next, it's from New Orleans to New York as Felicia uncovers a very recent fire that ravaged a four-story house in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn just this week. But this was no ordinary Brooklyn hipster home! This was known as the “House of Evil” - an infamous building historic for being the headquarters of Reverend Devernon “Doc” LeGrand's church in the 1960s/1970s as well as the site of his horrific acts. Devernon was a kind of cult leader, a scam artist, a rapist, and a murderer who peddled teenage "nuns,” put kids in cages, and many more violent crimes. WARNING: Devernon's disgusting, deplorable acts that are depicted in this episode are pretty brutal are not for the faint of heart, so please listen with caution.PS: If you have requests for future episodes or just want to hang out, follow us on Instagram @sinistersisterspodcast
521. Part 1 of our conversation with Charlotte Bentley about New Orleans French-language opera." New Orleans and the Creation of Transatlantic Opera, 1819–1859 explores the thriving operatic life of New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, drawing out the transatlantic connections that animated it..... This book pieces together what it took to bring opera to New Orleans and the ways in which the city's operatic life shaped contemporary perceptions of global interconnection. The early chapters explore the process of bringing opera to the stage, taking a detailed look at the management of New Orleans's Francophone theater, the Théâtre d'Orléans, as well as the performers who came to the city and the reception they received. But opera's significance was not confined to the theater, and later chapters of the book examine how opera permeated everyday life in New Orleans, through popular sheet music, novels, magazines and visual culture, and dancing in its many ballrooms. Just as New Orleans helped to create transatlantic opera, opera in turn helped to create the city of New Orleans." This week in Louisiana history. May 5, 1713 Antoine Cadillac was appointed French Gov. of Louisiana. This week in New Orleans history. The North Claiborne streetcar line began running on May 13, 1868.

In 2021, The Public Theater released an audio-only version of Erika Dickerson-Despenza's play, shadow/land. Alongside that audio play were several podcast episodes of a series called “The Clearing,” that added additional context to the audio production. Now in 2023, shadow/land has come to the in-person stage of The Public, and we are re-releasing the episodes of “The Clearing” as a part of Public Square 2.0, with host Garlia Cornelia Jones bringing some additional context. "The Clearing," references a space of healing in Toni Morrison's Beloved. In Beloved, the Clearing is a place in the woods where one of the characters, Baby Suggs, held her religious and spiritual gatherings. Baby Suggs called the black formerly enslaved community together to laugh, dance, cry and reclaim their bodies, bodies that had been used in the service of trans-Atlantic slavery. The ancillary episodes like shadow/land provide a space for healing and also call forth Congo Square, which is located at a clearing, apocalypse which is clearing, and the Yoruba deity Oya, who rules hurricanes and tornadoes and is known to clear the way. The Clearing, our ancillary episodes of post-show discussions, honors Toni Morrison and all the great black women writers and healers that have paved the way. PART 3: HEALING In the wake of a disaster, how does one heal? This episode considers the essential place of art in recovering from a catastrophe. This conversation includes: Soyica Colbert (host), Imani Perry (scholar), Cara Page (scholar), Jack Phillips Moore (Director of New Artists), Lauren A. Whitehead (dramaturgical consultant), and Erika Dickerson-Despenza (playwright).

Both are drawn from Cammock's time in New Orleans—which she began to visit early last year—and address the city's social history, geography, and community. Her book brings together poetry, film stills, photography, collage, and a number of archival documents from the Amistad Research Center. One of the focuses of Cammock's research is the artist Elizabeth Cattlet, an active member of the Civils Rights Movement who taught in New Orleans early in her career in the 1940s before leaving the US for Mexico. Decades later, she received a commission to create a sculpture of Louis Armstrong in Congo Square, a historical meeting place for enslaved people in the city. Cattlet's words and work are woven throughout the book, and evoke the rich accumulations of history that are ever present, and constantly presenting themselves, within a contemporary encounter of place. Also, Colm Toibin, author of A Guest at the Feast, returns to recommend Claire Keegan's Small Things Like These.

In 2021, The Public Theater released an audio-only version of Erika Dickerson-Despenza's play, shadow/land. Alongside that audio play were several podcast episodes of a series called “The Clearing,” that added additional context to the audio production. Now in 2023, shadow/land has come to the in-person stage of The Public, and we are re-releasing the episodes of “The Clearing” as a part of Public Square 2.0, with host Garlia Cornelia Jones bringing some additional context. "The Clearing," references a space of healing in Toni Morrison's Beloved. In Beloved, the Clearing is a place in the woods where one of the characters, Baby Suggs, held her religious and spiritual gatherings. Baby Suggs called the black formerly enslaved community together to laugh, dance, cry and reclaim their bodies, bodies that had been used in the service of trans-Atlantic slavery. The ancillary episodes like shadow/land provide a space for healing and also call forth Congo Square, which is located at a clearing, apocalypse which is clearing, and the Yoruba deity Oya, who rules hurricanes and tornadoes and is known to clear the way. The Clearing, our ancillary episodes of post-show discussions, honors Toni Morrison and all the great black women writers and healers that have paved the way. PART 1: A USEABLE PAST New Orleans has both the legacies of man-made disasters and rich culture traditions. This episode explores how the shadow/land contends with and makes use of the city's history. This conversation includes: Soyica Colbert (host), Erika Dickerson-Despenza (playwright), Candis C. Jones (director), Jack Moore (Director of New Artists), Imani Perry (scholar), Cara Page (scholar), and Lauren A. Whitehead (dramaturgical consultant).
509. We talk to Ruth Laney about her biography of Ernest Gaines: Cherie Quarters: The Place and the People That Inspired Ernest J. Gaines. "Cherie Quarters combines personal interviews, biography, and social history to tell the story of a plantation quarter and its most famous resident, renowned Louisiana writer and Pulitzer Prize nominee Ernest J. Gaines. In clear and vivid prose, this original and vital book illuminates the birthplace of a preeminent Black author and the lives of the people who inspired his work. Before he became an award-winning writer, Gaines was the son of sharecroppers in Cherie Quarters, a small Black community in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. Drawing on decades of interviews and archival research, Ruth Laney explores the lives and histories of the families, both kin and not, who lived in a place where 'everybody was everybody's child.' Built as slave cabins for the nearby River Lake Plantation in the 1840s, the houses of Cherie Quarters were cold in winter, hot in summer, filled with mosquitoes, and overflowing with people. Even so, the residents made these houses into homes. Laney describes aspects of their daily lives — work, food, entertainment, religion, and education—then expands her focus to the white families who built River Lake Plantation, enslaved its people, and later directed the lives of its Black sharecroppers" (LSU Pr.).

By Lamont Jack Pearley On this episode, I speak with Glen David Andrews, born and raised in Treme's 6 Ward, only blocks away from the historical Congo Square in New Orleans, Louisiana! Andrews shares that the gumbo of New Orleans culture is evident in the music and traditions and should be honored. Andrews knows who he is, where he comes from, and the people he descends from. One of the many musicians in his family, Glen's music transmits the roots of New Orleans. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/africanamericanfolklorist/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/africanamericanfolklorist/support
Recently, I was invited to speak at a big CEO Summit at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Hundreds of CEOs from across America and around the globe were in attendance, all gathered together to exchange ideas and develop relationships. The Dean of the LU School of Business, Dave Brat, did a masterful job of organizing, leading, and mc'ing the event. Newt Gingritch was a keynote speaker, as was the President of Ghana, Winsome Sears, Lt. Governor of Virginia, and others. We met some incredible leaders and made some powerful business connections as well as lifelong friends. If you haven't ever been to the Liberty University campus, I highly recommend you check it out. It's a beautiful, clean campus and the students we met were outstanding ... clean-cut, articulate, and happy they seemed. As the largest evangelical Christian college in the U.S., the whole experience was an impressive, even spiritual, event and I'm grateful my team and I were able to attend. One of the unique things, about this annual CEO Summit is that a large portion of the attendees come from Africa and/or are focused on increasing trade relations between Africa and the U.S. Among other things, the Summit is a remarkable collaboration between U.S. interests and African interests, a braintrust and bridge-building exchange that is inspiring to say the least. As part of this visit, my VoiceAmerica colleague, Frank Helring, host of BizZne$$ BuzZ, who attended with me, and I, met a gifted grouping of black American leaders who are bringing about change in Africa that will be felt for generations to come. Led by CEO and Founder of Ward Holdings, Lloyd Ward, the first African American CEO of a Fortune 500 company in the U.S., to say the group is impressive is an understatement indeed. You may not know this, but Africa is one of the largest continents on the planet and represents as much as 60% of global resources but, a shocking statistic we also learned was that it only accounts for TWO PERCENT of the world's GNP! Why is this? It's hard to believe but it's true, due largely to colonization, marginalization, mismanagement, corruption, and more. All that's about to change though. Mr. Ward shares his story today on Finding Certainty, of how he has been guided, prepared, and CALLED even, to spearhead this multi-trillion dollar development, about how he and his extremely talented team are well underway in opening the floodgates of Africa, and with them, new opportunities for prosperity and equity for the people of Africa and beyond. We talk about Ward Holdings' current pre-IPO and what it consists of, why it is paramount they make the movement (and company) public, and how he and his team's years of experience were, in fact, the missing piece for bringing it to pass. If you want to hear a truly inspiring story of business disruption, development, and even destiny, you don't want to miss this show.

488. We talk to Angie Maxwell about her book, The Long Southern Strategy, with an emphasis on the Southern Baptist Convention in Louisiana. "The Southern Strategy is traditionally understood as a Goldwater and Nixon-era effort by the Republican Party to win over disaffected white voters in the Democratic stronghold of the American South. To realign these voters with the GOP, the party abandoned its past support for civil rights and used racially coded language to capitalize on southern white racial angst.... And when the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention became increasingly fundamentalist and politically active, the GOP tied its fate to the Christian Right. Republicans embodied southern white culture by emphasizing an "us vs. them" outlook.... In doing so, the GOP nationalized southern white identity, rebranded itself to the country at large, and fundamentally altered the vision and tone of American politics."

This week Sarah and Mike talk with author Carole Boston Weatherford about her new book, Standing In The Need of Prayer. From Carole Boston Weatherford, two-time NAACP Image Award winner and author of Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre, and Coretta Scott King-winning illustrator Frank Morrison comes STANDING IN THE NEED OF PRAYER (Crown Books for Young Readers; on sale September 20, 2022; 32 pages; Ages 6-9), a stunning and deeply moving picture book inspired by the spiritual. The classic lyrics have been reworked to chronicle the milestones, struggles, tragedies, and triumphs of African American history. Starting from 1619 and stretching more than four hundred years, this book features pivotal moments such as the arrival of enslaved people in Jamestown, Virginia; Nat Turner's rebellion; the integration of the US military; the Selma to Montgomery marches; and present-day protests. It also celebrates the feats of African American musicians and athletes, such as Duke Ellington and Florence Griffith Joyner. Carole Boston Weatherford's riveting text and Frank Morrison's evocative and detailed paintings are informative reminders of yesterday, hopeful images for today, and aspirational dreams of tomorrow. Carole Boston Weatherford is a two-time NAACP Image Award winner and the author of Unspeakable: The Tulsa Race Massacre, which won the Coretta Scott King Author and Illustrator Awards, a Caldecott Honor, and a Sibert Honor; the Newbery Honor book Box: Henry Brown Mails Himself to Freedom; and the Caldecott Honor books Freedom in Congo Square, Voice of Freedom: Fannie Lou Hamer, Spirit of the Civil Rights Movement, and Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom. Born in Baltimore, Weatherford now teaches at Fayetteville State University, in North Carolina.

Join playwright Natalie Y. Moore and director TaRon Patton for a performance and discussion from The Billboard: A Play About Abortion. The Billboard is about a fictional Black women's clinic in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood on the South Side and its fight with a local gadfly running for City Council who puts up a provocative billboard: “Abortion is genocide. The most dangerous place for a Black child is his mother's womb,” spurring on the clinic to fight back with their own provocative sign: “Black women take care of their families by taking care of themselves. Abortion is self-care. #Trust Black Women.” As a play and book, The Billboard is a cultural force that treats abortion as more than pro-life or pro-choice.
