Black Lives Matter
We are devasted by the horrific deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor and countless others. We mourn the senseless loss of life and pervasive, systemic racism that plagues every corner of our society – criminal justice, policing, health care, education, housing, employment, and list goes on.
Racism of any type can no longer be tolerated in any sector of a civilized society. It takes all of us to stand firm against racism. Remaining silent is no longer an option. As a businesswoman in the Bay Area said, “racism, and the violence born out of it that disregards human life, torches every part of my life and that of my family. I cannot rest, our community cannot rest, our country cannot rest until we address the systemic roots of that problem and universally commit to fighting against it at all costs.”
Dismantling systemic racism in our nation will not be solved overnight. It will not be a sprint but rather a marathon. Clazzical Notes will be a part of the solution. Music, dance, the spoken word, film and many other art forms speak an international language. Clazzical Notes’ programs will continue to be a bridge that connects neighbors, creates dialogues, and sparks understanding. Only when we really see and hear each other can we understand, appreciate and value our differences.
We all can do better and we must.
