We were thrilled to once again sponsor some live poetry at the Jackson Street Jazz Walk!
But mostly, after organizing this for the last four years, it was a delight for Year Five to just go as a participant and leave the difficult job of organizing to Eugenie Jones. Yes, it was different, but hello, that is what keeps things fresh! SO IT WAS AWESOME AS ALWAYS. We have a lot of issues in the Central District that are direct result of systematic racism and economic inequality… but we also have a lot of GREAT neighbors and nothing like music and art to get everyone out together having fun. And my belief, from the minute I started this project, was if you can get people together having fun with each other, it makes having the difficult conversation and work in a neighborhood easier. Still hard, but easier.
Here are some more pictures!
