[Howard Finster's Paradise Garden]
* * * *
“You feel the soul by opening your heart to people, by accepting what is. The soul grows through the heart. The heart is the door to the soul. But with all ordinary men, this door is blocked with fear, prejudice, doubt. His heart is not open to the world. He only takes from it what he wants to take, in the way he wants to take it. If he could only be ‘himself’, ‘be his whole self’, without fear and without self-protection, he would already live from the soul. So learn simply to ‘be’, to ‘be’ your ‘whole’ self.”
~ Rodney Collin

2008 Ida B. Wells and Cheikh Anta Diop Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Africana Studies
2007 Choice Outstanding Academic Title
Race riots are the most glaring and contemporary displays of the racial strife running through America's history. Mostly urban, mostly outside the South, and mostly white-instigated, the number and violence of race riots increased as blacks migrated out of the rural South and into the North and West's industrialized cities during the early part of the twentieth-century.
Though white / black violence has been the most common form of racial violence, riots involving Asians and Hispanics are also included and examined. Race riots are the most glaring and contemporary displays of the racial strife running through America's history. Mostly urban, mostly outside the South, and mostly white-instigated, the number and violence of race riots increased as blacks migrated out of the rural South and into the North and West's industrialized cities during the early part of the twentieth-century.
While most riots have occurred within the past century, the encyclopedia reaches back to colonial history, giving the encyclopedia an unprecedented historical depth.
Though white on black violence has been the most common form of racial violence, riots involving other racial and ethnic groups, such as Asians and Hispanics, are also included and examined.
Organized A-Z, topics include: notorious riots like the Tulsa Riots of 1921, the Los Angeles Riots of 1965 and 1992; the African-American community's preparedness and responses to this odious form of mass violence; federal responses to rioting; an examination of the underlying causes of rioting; the reactions of prominent figures such as H. Rap Brown and Martin Luther King, Jr to rioting; and much more. Many of the entries describe and analyze particular riots and violent racial incidents, including the following:
Belleville, Illinois, Riot of 1903 Harlem, New York, Riot of 1943 Howard Beach Incident, 1986 Jackson State University Incident, 1970 Los Angeles, California, Riot of 1992 Memphis, Tennessee, Riot of 1866 Red Summer Race Riots of 1919 Southwest Missouri Riots 1894-1906 Texas Southern University Riot of 1967
Entries covering the victims and opponents of race violence, include the following:
Black Soldiers, Lynching of Black Women, Lynching of Diallo, Amadou Hawkins, Yusef King, Rodney Randolph, A. Philip Roosevelt, Eleanor Till, Emmett, Lynching of Turner, Mary, Lynching of Wells-Barnett, Ida B.
Many entries also cover legislation that has addressed racial violence and inequality, as well as groups and organizations that have either fought or promoted racial violence, including the following:
Anti-Lynching League Civil Rights Act of 1957 Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 Ku Klux Klan National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Nation of Islam Vigilante Organizations White League Other entries focus on relevant concepts, trends, themes, and publications.
Besides almost 300 cross-referenced entries, most of which conclude with lists of additional readings, the encyclopedia also offers a timeline of racial violence in the United States, an extensive bibliography of print and electronic resources, a selection of important primary documents, numerous illustrations, and a detailed subject index.

Watch Evangelical and Charismatic pastors speak in gibberish to each other. This is the craziest speaking in tongues compilation video ever made. Watch T.D. Jakes, Paula White, Robert Tilton, Rodney Howard-Browne, Becky Fisher, Kerney Thomas, Joel Osteen's Prayer line, Nancy Harmon, Perry Stone, and Terrence McKenna speak in tongues and make a fool of themselves. And these are some of the people advising President Trump.
OH WAIT!. IT'S RELIGION!. SO YOU CAN!

Killing Me Softly: Deadly Code of Silence by Sister Souljah
Lyrics:
[Intro] "The First Amendment specifies specifically that Congress shall not-" "Come on, nigga! What they hell you talkin' about?" "That means you can say whatever the fuck you want!"
[Spoken: Sister Souljah] George Bush is a terrorist (Oh my, it's that woman again, Sister Souljah) He create terror in the minds, hearts and neighborhoods of black people (Oh God, she just doesn't shut up) White teachers'll never teach black children how to survive in America (She's always complaining, complaining, and complaining) Because black kids gotta compete against white kids (And she doesn't shut up, I wish she would just shut up!) And white people want their kids to win
[Verse One: Ice Cube] Sister Souljah, hold your fucking ground like I told ya Cause them crackers them try to run ya over Sitting in front of my house in a Nova On your walkie-talkie, why do you stalk me? Cause the jungle bunny's got money, that's not funny to the feds Cut my curl and I might grow dreads Taking heads, devil, step in the pulpit Cause non-violence: that's a bunch of bullshit In '92, Ice Cube come a little bit blacker Buck-buck-buck-buck-buck down the cracker See ya driving in your Cadillac-er Through South Central and I just might jack ya [Spoken: Sister Souljah] Yeah, that's right Cube, stand strong, brother Don't change, cause we gotta, we gotta look out for each other Watch that back, because you know they comin' after us But we keep 'em runnin'
[Verse Two: Sister Souljah] I don't care what you say or think Cause Sister Souljah got a right to speak I don't care how you feel or what Cause Sister Souljah don't give a fuck If my world's black and yours is white How the hell could we think alike? I've got big brown eyes so I can see And my mind don't play tricks on me
[Verse Three: Ice Cube] Cause you teach, freedom of speech As long as black men don't say Howard Beach Rodney King or Bensonhurst Tawana and Tasha, we ain't forgot ya Don't say Jew or Korean It's acting like a bad human bein' They'll try to call you a demon Don't know what the fuck Ice Cube is sayin' Get off my dick, I might spray you with the semen Me know the answer: come, come down Black Panther To the youth, an eye for an eye A tooth for a tooth, a gun for a gun A knife for a knife, and a life for a life, check it
[Spoken: Sister Souljah] America is always trying to strangle and silence black people America is the most violent country on the face of the earth! But they are always trying to stuff non-violence down the throats of African people Why America was violent in Kuwait, violent in Grenada Violent in Nicaragua, violent in Angola Violent in Vietnam, and violent in Korea! And America has been responsible for ALL forms of violent destruction Of African people throughout the entire world Why, in fact, America is even violent in America ...And as for my brother Cube Some think he's right, and some think he's wrong But Sister Souljah, I like him, cause I like 'em strong! Say what you want to say, you have the right!
[Ice Cube] Sister Souljah, Ice Cube, comin' fresh You didn't expect this one! [*Laughs*]

LÉGENDES DU JAZZ
BENNY GOLSON, SAXOPHONISTE ET COMPOSITEUR "Basically, I'd like to stay simple. I'd like to write melodically, and pretty harmonically... Although I'm not consciously looking for it, maybe I want something that's easy to remember.... Beauty can be simple, beauty can be simplicity."
- Benny Golson
Né le 25 janvier 1929 à Philadelphie, Benjamin ‘’Benny’’ Golson a fait ses études secondaires à Philadelphie. À l’âge de neuf ans, Golson avait commencé à apprendre le piano sous les pressions de sa mère qui voulait faire de lui un pianiste classique. Mais Golson ne l’entendait pas de cette oreille. Il expliquait: “That was aberrational in my neighborhood. All you heard there was the blues.”
Golson était âgé de quatorze ans lorsqu’il avait assisté à un concert de Lionel Hampton au Philadelphia’s Earl Theater. C’était après avoir entendu jouer Arnett Cobb qui faisait partie du groupe que Golson avait décidé de troquer le piano pour le saxophone ténor. Il avait commencé à composer à l’âge de dix-sept ans.
Pendant qu’il fréquentait le High School, Golson avait joué avec plusieurs musiciens prometteurs, dont John Coltrane, Red Garland, les frères Jimmy et Percy Heath, Philly Joe Jones et Red Rodney. LE MUSICIEN Après avoir obtenu son diplôme de l’Université Howard (où il avait écrit ses premiers arrangements), Golson avait brièvement conduit un camion de livraison avant de se joindre au groupe de rhythm n’ blues de Bull Moose Jackson en 1951. Tadd Dameron, que Golson considérerait plus tard comme sa plus importante influence comme compositeur, était le pianiste de Jackson à l’époque. Golson expliquait ainsi l’influence que Dameron avait eu sur lui: "Tadd's music really ignited the spark for me. After hearing things like 'Our Delight' and 'Lady Bird'... I wanted to do more than play tenor sax. I wanted to write."
Une autre influence majeure de Golson était le saxophoniste de swing Don Byas. Golson avait également été très influencé par Charlie Parker, qu’il avait entendu jouer pour la première fois lors d’un concert de l’Académie de Musique de Philadelphie en 1945. Golson précisait: “After we heard that concert that night, our lives changed. It was epochal, what was happening then.”
C’est après avoir entendu Parker que Golson avait commencé à développer son jeu très personnel combinant la chaleur et la fluidité des autres saxophonistes aux innovations harmonieuses de Bird.
Golson travaillait avec l’orchestre de Lionel Hampton à l’Apollo Theater de Harlem en 1956 lorsqu’il avait appris que le trompettiste Clifford Brown, avec qui il avait joué dans le groupe de Dameron de 1953 à 1958, était mort dans un accident d’automobile. Dans une entrevue accordée au magazine Downbeat en 1961, Golson avait décrit ainsi sa complicité avec Brown: "At the time of his death, Brownie was going in his direction more determinedly than anyone I've ever seen. Really, the last two years of his life, he got a hold of what he wanted to do. His imagination was infinite. He always had a bag of surprises."
Golson avait été tellement bouleversé par la mort de Brown qu’il avait composé une pièce en son honneur intitulée ‘’I Remember Clifford.’’ La pièce est devenue depuis un classique du jazz.
Après avoir quitté le groupe de Dameron, Golson s’était joint aux formations de Lionel Hampton, Johnny Hodges (avec qui il avait fait une tournée avec John Coltrane en 1954), Earl Bostic et Dizzy Gillespie, avec qui il avait participé à une tournée financée par le Département d’État.
Golson s’était ensuite joint aux Jazz Messengers d’Art Blakey avec qui il avait enregistré l’album ‘’Moanin’’’.
De 1959 à 1962, Golson avait co-dirigeé le groupe Jazztet avec le trompettiste Art Farmer. Le pianiste McCoy Tyner et le joueur de trombone Curtis Fuller faisaient aussi partie de la formation. En 1960, dans le cadre de sa participation au Jazztet, Golson avait remporté le New Star Award décerné par le magazine DownBeat. Le groupe a enregistré six albums avant de cesser ses activités en 1962. LE COMPOSITEUR
En 1963, à la demande de Quincy Jones et peut-être aussi pour mieux gagner sa vie, Golson s’était installé en Californie pour se concentrer sur la composition et le travail de studio. À cette époque, Golson avait composé de la musique pour des séries télé comme ‘’Mannix’’, ‘’Ironside’’, ‘’Room 222’’, ‘’M*A*S*H**’’, ‘’The Patridge Family’’ et ‘’Mission Impossible.’’ Il avait également écrit des thèmes publicitaires pour des compagnies comme Canada Dry, Carnation, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Clorox, Dodge, General Telephone, Gillette, MacDonald’s, Mattel, Nissan, Pepsi Cola, Texaco et Heinz.
Au milieu des années 1970, Golson avait effectué un retour sur scène. Golson, qui n’avait pas touché à son saxophone depuis dix ans, avait décrit ainsi la sensation qu’il avait ressenti lorsqu’il avait recommencé à jouer de son instrument: "It was like I'd never played the instrument; it felt like a piece of plumbing from the kitchen in my hand. My mind seemed like it wanted to go ahead--my fingers were those of a dead man; my lips were like ripe tomatoes. It was quite a physical struggle. I had no muscles in my lips or jaws... I sounded so bad, I was even embarrassed for my wife to hear me!" Golson avait aussi recommencé à enregistrer, collaborant notamment avec Freddie Hubbard, Woody Shaw et Pharoah Sanders.
Selon le critique Scott Yanow, à l’époque, le style de Golson au saxophone avait énormément évolué et s’apparentait davantage au style d’Archie Shepp et aux autres musiciens du free jazz qu’à son style original influencé par le swing de Don Byas. En 1982, après une tournée au Japon avec Art Farmer, Golson avait complètement réorganisé son Jazztet pour l’adapter aux nouvelles réalités du jazz.
La nouvelle édition du groupe avait été accueillie avec enthousiasme, tant par les amateurs que par la critique. Golson expliquait: "The reception for the revived Jazztet was so warm last year that it was almost like coming back home this second time. The enthusiasm of the audiences has been very encouraging for us--it gives us some incentive to go on in that same direction."
La reprise des activités du Jazztet n’avait cependant rien à voir avec la nostalgie. Golson poursuivait: "In twenty years, as you might expect... our musical approach is just a little different from the way it was then. Although there's some nostalgic things, like 'Whisper Not' ... I've written a lot of new tunes, and we've moved away somewhat from the hard, straight-up-and-down, strict harmonic kind of approach."
Véritable ambassadeur du jazz, Golson avait participé en 1987 à une tournée organisée par le Département d’État qui l’avait conduit du sud-est asiatique à la Nouvelle-Zélande, en passant par l’Indonésie, la Malaisie, la Birmanie et Singapour. Plus tard, l’agence Philip Morris l’avait envoyé à Bangkok, en Thailande, composer de la musique pour le Bangkok Symphony Orchestra.
À la fin des années 1990 et au début des années 2000, Golson avait fait une tournée avec le groupe toute étoile Roots (dont il était le directeur musical depuis 1995) ainsi qu’avec le trio de Keith Copeland. Il continuait aussi à composer parallèlement.
De 1998 à 2000, Golson avait participé à une tournée intitulée ‘’Jazz Messengers - A Legacy to Art Blakey’’, qui lui avait fait traverser tous les États-Unis, en plus de le conduire en Europe et au Japon. Comme son nom l’indique, la tournée avait pour but de rendre hommage à son ancien mentor Art Blakey, qui était décédé en octobre 1990. Lors des funérailles de Blakey, la pièce ‘’Blues March’’ de Golson avait d’ailleurs été interprétée pour lui rendre hommage.
En 2004, Golson avait fit une brève apparition dans le film ‘’The Terminal’’ avec Tom Hanks. Dans le film, on faisait allusion à la photo ‘’A Great Day in Harlem’’ sur laquelle Golson apparaissait aux côtés de plusieurs autres musiciens de jazz. Dans le film, le personnage principal, Viktor Navorski, interprété par Hanks, avait voyagé depuis l’Europe pour obtenir l’autographe de Golson. La composition de Golson, ‘’Something in B Flat’’, peut aussi être entendue sur une scène où Viktor est en train de peindre et de redécorer une partie le terminus de l’aéroport. Dans une autre scène, on voit Golson interpréter la pièce ‘’Killer Joe.’’
Benny Golson est mort à sa résidence de Manhattan le 21 septembre 2024. Il était âgé de 95 ans. La mort de Golson a été annoncée par son agent Jason Franklin. HONNEURS ET RÉCOMPENSES Benny Golson a reçu plusieurs prix et récompenses au cours de sa carrière.
Golson, qui a remporté un prix de la Fondation Guggenheim en 1994, a vu sa carrière être couronnée deux ans plus tard par la remise d’un NEA Jazz Masters Award de la National Endowment for the Arts. La même année, le programme de Jazz de l’Université Howard avait créé un prix en son honneur nommé le ‘’Benny Golson Jazz Master Award.’’
En octobre 2007, la Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation avait décerné à Golson le Mellon Living Legend Legacy Award, lors d’une cérémonie tenue au Lincoln Center. Le même mois, l’Université de Pittsburgh lui avait accordé l’International Academy of Jazz Outstanding Lifetime Achievement Award. Le prix lui avait été remis dans le cadre du 37e concert annuel de Jazz au Carnegie Music Hall. En novembre 2009, Goldson a été intronisé au sein de l’Academy of Jazz Hall of Fame.
Benny Golson est le seul artiste de jazz toujours vivant à avoir composé au moins huit standards de jazz. Véritable institution, Golson a enregistré plus de trente albums sous son nom en plus d’avoir participé à des centaines d’enregistrements d’autres artistes. Golson a aussi plus de 300 compositions à son crédit. Au cours de sa carrière de plus de soixante ans, Golson a également écrit un nombre incalculable d’arrangements pour des artistes comme Count Basie, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sammy Davis Jr., Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Quincy Jones, Peggy Lee, Carmen McRae, Anita O’Day, Oscar Peterson, Diana Ross, Mek Torme, George Shearing, Dusty Springfield et plusieurs autres.
Passionné d’éducation, Golson a aussi fait des lectures au Lincoln Center et aux universités de New York et de Chicago. Loin de se limiter à la musique, les conférences de Golson abordaient aussi des questions comme le racisme et les relations raciales. Dans une entrevue accordée au Irish Times, Golson avait tenu à préciser que ses préoccupations n’étaient pas tant personnelles qu’historiques. Il avait déclaré: “[Racism] doesn’t disturb me and it didn’t disturb me when I was coming up as a kid. Racism? I wanted to play the music. I turned a deaf ear to all that stuff.”
Golson est également lauréat de doctorats honorifiques de la Berklee School of Music et du William Paterson College de Wayne, au New Jersey. Grand pédagogue, il a aussi dirigé des ateliers dans plusieurs universités à travers le monde.
Outre ‘’I Remember Clifford’’, plusieurs des compositions de Golson sont devenues des standards du jazz: ‘’Stablemates’’, ‘’Killer Joe’’, ‘‘Whisper Not’’, ‘’Along Came Betty’’, ‘’Are You Real ?’’, ‘’Blues March’’, etc.
En 1958, au cours d’une entrevue accordée au magazine DownBeat, Golson avait ainsi décrit sa philosophie de compositeur: "I feel that the best contribution any writer can make is to create compositions that are impressive, meaningful, and lasting. I think all serious writers consciously or unconsciously strive for this." Dans une autre entevue accordée deux ans plus tard, Golson avait précisé: "Basically, I'd like to stay simple. I'd like to write melodically, and pretty harmonically... Although I'm not consciously looking for it, maybe I want something that's easy to remember.... Beauty can be simple, beauty can be simplicity."
Lorsqu’on demandait à Golson laquelle de ses activités il trouvait la plus satisfaisante entre la composition et sa carrière de musicien, il répondait simplement: “It’s like having two wives. I’m a musical bigamist. I can’t decide, so I just go on with both of them.” ©-2023-2024, tous droits réservés, Les Productions de l’Imaginaire historique SOURCES:
