WHAT WILL THE AUDIENCE LEARN?
The audience will learn tools to expand their awareness about racism in their own disciplines/areas of interests and how to honor the contributions of all in the telling of our history.
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Jazz originated in the African American community of New Orleans. The world has been blessed by notable artists such as Eubie Blake, Ethel Waters, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Al Jolson, Benny Goodman and many more. Jazz has been a source of healing, joy, and even controversy. While it highlights the richness of the Black community, it also reveals an oppressive and racist history.
Join Rev. Dr. TLC and her guest Lindsay Guarino, editor of the book "Rooted Jazz Dance" as they discuss how one white woman's journey into jazz parallels her journey into dismantling racism. Ms. Guarino will share how, as a scholar and educator, she pushes back against oppressive systems, especially those that have led to the exploitation, appropriation and erasure of Black American art and culture.
