Some traditions and experiences need to remain in our hearts in order for us to appreciate and change our future. Mahalia Jackson would sing deeply rich hymns & spirituals before some of Dr. Kings most powerful, impactful and popular speech’s. •• It was certainly an honor to share this slightly classical / Spiritual arrangement of Soon-a-Will Be Done before my Brutha @ibencarlton electrifying and moving speech “Set My People Free.” •• I thought it was most befitting based upon the majority of our audience for this Candlelight Vigil to celebrate the birth & life of Tamir Rice. Tamir Rice was 12 years old when gunned down by a rookie Cleveland Police Officer for playing with a toy gun on the playground. •• Change has to happen, “Set My BLACK People Free!!!” •• #SetMyPeopleFree #HowLongIsYourFight #FightForPower #FightForChange #BlackLivesMatter #AllBlackLivesMatter #BLM #MartinLutherKing #MLK #MahaliaJackson #BenCarlton #ChrisGees #Pasadena #SouthPasadena #California #Cleveland #Ohio (at South Pasadena, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5ivTdgvB6/?igshid=13vv71st1kgfx

These past two weeks have been a whirlwind, but the unfortunate gratification of fighting for ME, US, WE; BLACK PEOPLE has been absolutely worth every moment. And this is just the beginning.... How Long Is Your Fight?!?! • I remember a moment I had with my mother @panngees1 around the age of 15, she told me I MUSTTTT call when I’m gonna be our past a certain time... I thought “ohhh she’s just being a mother!” Years later around 25, she broke down why she was so anal and demanding about it... simply put “I’m was a single black mother raising a BLACK, GAY MALE in North Philadelphia. I didn’t rest well and one eye was always open until I heard that door close & lock with you inside!” • #HowLongIsYourFlight • Thank you @ibencarlton for your words, your message, your fight!!! #WereFightingRightAloneWithYou It’s been a rough blessing fighting along side you my Brother... but we can, we will, we must!!! • #BLACKLIVESMATTER #SUPPORTBLACKBUSINESSES #CANNACAREBYCHRISGEES #HOWLONGISYOURFIGHT (at Worldwide) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQ9axvA59t/?igshid=x4hr46k3w1j
